Keeper by Mal Peet

     I sincerely suggest Keeper, to anyone who likes to read.  It is an amazing book about the world famous goalie, El Gato (the cat).  The book is based upon an interview with Paul Faustino interviewing and El Gato being interviewed.  El Gato talks about  his long untold past, his ghostly but very real mentor, The Keeper, and the tiny logging town in the middle of the South American jungle of his childhood.  Hour after hour his unbelievable tale unfolds.  Paul Faustino is almost sure he his lying but El Gato appears, and is truthful.  Set during the late 1900s after the defeat of the German team in the World Cup, El Gato brings the reader back in time to meet The Lost Ones and the young superstar.
  Keeper is a stupendous book, and a must read!
