On the table between them stands the World Cup. In the hours that follow, El Gato tells his incredible life story. : Review: Physical, spiritual - Arthurian, even - this is true enchantment. TES Teacher -- : Review: 'This stirring adventure - a soccer story? a ghost story? - defies expectations ... Both lyrical and gripping.' (Kirkus Reviews): 'This book has something for every reader, not least those who revel in excellent writing.' (The Guardian): 'An unusual novel by Mal Peet, Keeper will fill a gap in the market for many readers. You do not need to be a football fan to enjoy the mystery and celebration encompassed in this story.' (The Bookseller): 'Peet achieves his expressed desire to write an entirely new kind of soccer story, not only including the experience of play, but also mesmerising readers with a supernatural mystery in a tale about relationships, loneliness, and believing in oneself. This is a well-written, fast-paced sports story that addresses far more than just the sport itself. Fans of Chris Crutcher's sports-themed novels will want to pick up this selection by a new and talented writer.' (School Library Journal) --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.
