U.S. Men's Soccer's Captain America, Christian Pulisic, tells a story of focus, determination, and most of all, confidence--all the soccer superpowers you need! Just in time for the 2026 World Cup!

Christian loves to play soccer. The whoosh of the wind, the bounce of the ball, the ripple of the net—he can hardly wait to join a team! But when the kids on the field all seem bigger and stronger than he is, Christian is suddenly afraid. What if he’s not good enough to play? Will his greatest dream turn out to be his worst nightmare? Or will he find a way to win the day by using the most important soccer superpower of them all?

US Men’s National Soccer Team star Christian Pulisic delivers a fast-footed and fun story about believing in yourself and making your dreams come true.
Praise for Christian's Soccer Superpowers:

"The lifelong lessons this book provides [make it] a strong addition for young reader collections." —School Library Journal
