Ronaldo

This illustrated overview belongs to a series that surveys top soccer clubs and standout players. Its focus is Cristiano Ronaldo, and it traces his life from growing up on the Portuguese island of Madeira to lighter details such as his favorite meals and his collection of cars.

The book also covers his biggest achievements with Manchester United, the Portugal national team, and Real Madrid. Action photographs and tactical breakdowns of key matches are paired with fun facts and statistics for readers who follow the game closely.

A share of the book's sales goes to the Hugo Bustamante AYSO Playership Fund, a national scholarship that pays registration and uniform costs so children who cannot afford them can join AYSO Soccer. The organization describes its programs as a family-centered activity that teaches young players teamwork, social skills and healthy habits.
