Críticas:

More than just a sports story, the novel's underlying themes have broader appeal. Breakaway explores the inner conflict of a young teen struggling to live up to his father's expectations while being true to himself. This father-son relationship is sure to strike a chord with many readers. What's more, Kew does an excellent job conveying the thoughts and emotions of a young man who has moved from a small town to a large and diverse metropolis. The dialogue is engaging and believable, and the plot moves at a quick pace, qualities readers are sure to appreciate, sports fans or not. Recommended. (3 stars out of 4)--Erin Walker"CM: Canadian Review of Materials" (03/16/2012)

Rated G - Good, even great at times, generally useful!
This book is full of engaging sports trivia and high action games, but the story is about more than sports...This story is well written, with well-drawn characters dealing with everyday conflicts..Some of the situations are clich d but that makes them easy to relate to. Reads with ease and the plot is not too complex for those with lower comprehension skills.--Jaclyn McLean "Resource Links "

Reseña del editor:

"After moving to the big city, Adam becomes a star hockey player without a team-- and a guy who's not quite sure where he fits in anymore. Then Rodrigo Davila introduces him to soccer. It doesn't take much for Adam to figute out why it's called the beautiful game...but it'll take a whole lot more to convince his hockey-obsessed dad to let him play." -- P. [4] of cover.
