Soccer World Mexico
Explore the World Through Soccer
Ethan continues his adventures around the world, this time meeting up with his young soccer-playing friend Gabriel in Mexico City as they explore the culture and customs of our neighbors to the south. From a walking tour of Mexico City to visits at ancient civilization ruins; from an amazing once-in-a-lifetime butterfly migration sanctuary to colorful Lucha Libre wrestling - Ethan and readers experience the real Mexico, away from the tourist traps and border towns.
As in all Soccer World adventures, readers will have the opportunity to research a “give back” project in Mexico and, through their efforts, make a difference in this wonderful country.

Children's Literature Review —"Soccer player Ethan Zahn used the million dollars he won the Survivor TV series to parley his interest in soccer into Grassroot Soccer, a non-profit dedicated to AIDS education and prevention. This book is one of a series that features Ethan visiting a young soccer player in another country. Despite the series title, “Explore the World through Soccer,” the game itself plays a minor role in this informational book. Instead the framework allows the book to deliver a potpourri of facts about the history, culture, geography of the host country, along with some science facts and activities. The information is divided into chapters; rather than photos, the illustrations are graphic novel style, in keeping with the layout. The readable text is dotted with pull-outs featuring smaller chunks of information or vocabulary."
Tonic.com May 2010 —"Ethan Zohn's children's book is simply the best."
