Jack and Annie land in Mexico City at the 1970 World Cup, looking for a champion's secret of greatness, and end up watching Pelé play. The history is real and lightly worn.
Why we picked it
For a lot of American seven-year-olds this is the first time they hear the words "World Cup" attached to a story rather than a schedule.
