Willy the Wizard started off with Willy wanting to play soccer, but he wasn’t very good and didn’t have boots to play in. But one night, this mysterious man appeared and played soccer with him, gave him boots, and then vanished. Ever since then, Willy was amazing at soccer, but still practiced a ton. At the night of the big game he realized he had forgotten his boots and had no time to go back and get them, so he had to borrow someone’s extra pair of boots-but he still did awesome!
This book definitely had more content to it and it was the most exciting Willy series book I’ve read thus far. There was a good amount of dialogue which I thought is important to include even at the easy reading level so that the young child becomes familiar with it, and maybe even use it in their writing. Like the other Willy stories, this one has a ton of creative pictures. The illustrator does a great job drawing exactly what is going on in the story and I love how when the author gives us a play by play on a page, he uses many different frames to show the actual play by play made by Willy.
