Celebrate soccer--and the World Cup!  In a dusty township in South Africa, Ajani and his friends have earned a brand-new, federation size soccer ball. They kick. They dribble. They run. They score. These clever boys are football champions! But when a crew of bullies tries to steal their ball, will Ajani and his friends be able to beat them at their own game?
