Synopsis
Everybody has a dream, and for Sh Kazamatsuri, that dream is simple: he wants to be the best soccer player he can possibly be. He's the spirited leader of the Josui Junior High team and everyone looks up to him. In turn, he tries to keep the team together at any cost
Banned from his school's soccer team for being too short, Sh Kazamatsuri decides there's only one thing left to do: switch schools
But even a change in scenery doesn't help the David Beckham wannabe. On campus, he is mistakenly introduced to everyone as a hotshot soccer player. When the truth is revealed, Sh drops out of school to practice on his own.
Alone, the spunky teenager must work twice as hard to make his dreams come true. He wants to play soccer so bad he's willing to hustle day and night to make it happen.
Packed with action, humor and teenage kicks, Whistle is a must-read for dreamers (and soccer fans) of all ages
