I shared it with my 4th grade students here in the U.S. and they quickly asked me to make it our next read aloud. They LOVED it!Soccer is a fast growing sport in the U.S. and my students easily connected. My diverse classroom also identified with mentions of Islam and what it is like to be an Indian Minority in a country. Having visited Malaysia myself I was able to offer my own insights as well.The story of Divorce that is told also hit home for many of my students and created a positive discussion. My Brazilian students enjoyed that the main character's favorite Football (Soccer) team was Brazil.I appreciated the author's beautiful use of language as well.I suppose my review was a bit rambling, but I really enjoyed this book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2015* Beautiful story. Well written. Appeals to both boys and girls ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's more than just soccer *by J***P on Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2017* Ten is kind of a sweet, coming-of-age sort of tale about a girl and soccer. Her parents haven't been getting on so well of late and Maya is sure they wouldn't get a divorce because it isn't done in her culture. But then, girls don't play soccer since it's a 'boys' sport. Maya not only gets her own soccer ball, but gets pretty good and forms a team at her all girls school. The setting is 1986 Malaysia around the time of the World Cup in Mexico. Maya is able to watch her favorite player, Brazil's Zico, as well as some other famous personages in the sport from that time. She tries to put herself in the place of her favorite player, but also realizes that she has to be her own person.Given the type of book, some of what follows isn't really surprising. What is surprising is that Maya is so resilient and strong willed. She knows she needs to stick up to bullying but doesn't exactly follow through until a cliche moment, so there are some things that could have been handled a little more roundedly. That said, the main character's voice is compelling. Middle Grade readers can relate to Maya's struggles even though she's growing up halfway across the world in some circumstances many Western kids can't relate to. Flint puts a lot of herself and her passions into Maya, too, which gives this book a little bit of truth.Overall, a shortish but good read for the target audience. The soccer may draw them in, but the real life stuff will keep them hooked. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/186384010-ten-a-soccer-story](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/186384010-ten-a-soccer-story) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
