Little David grew up in Brittan and always knew that he wanted to be a soccer player.  His  goal was to play for Manchester United.  While still young, he joined the Ridgeway Rovers.  As a teen he joined Manchester United's Youth academy where he soon became a star on the field.  When he finally played with Manchester United, he made them loose the world cup by getting a red card.  Fans were angry.  Could he ever come back from this?

David Beckham is an inspiring story of working hard, following your dreams, and overcoming adversity.  This book teaches children that even though they are small, they can dream about achieving incredible things.
