Book Synopsis

Brilliantly technical player. Playmaker. Copa Libertadores winner. Neymar put the N in the famed "MSN" trio (with Lionel Messi and Louis Suárez) at Spanish giant Barcelona, then set a transfer-fee record at French icon Paris Saint-Germain. This action-packed, photo-driven biography, geared toward early high school readers, kicks up interest in "the prince who never became king" in Europe's high-pressure leagues, yet managed to de-crown none other than King Pelé as Brazil's all-time top goal scorer. Includes table of contents, sidebars, and index.
