Review of "Fergus, the Soccer Playing Colt"

...with the boys. All the publicity boosts the popularity of soccer in the United States, drawing the attention of Ian Connor from the International Soccer Federation. He asks to borrow Fergus and the boys for a fourteen-city tour promoting the colt and the sport of soccer. The boys parents agree and the tour launches successfully with Fergus enjoying the matches and playing flawlessly. All goes well until the colt is horse-napped partway through the tour by three bad guys who scheme to turn him into a bucking rodeo champ. The rest of the story rel...more
