Decent book and a nice idea. 3.5 stars.
This book is about a boy and he has a medical condition where if he cuts himself the blood will not stop bleeding. Soon he became the best footballer, but one unfortunate day Rick gets Budi in a situation where he owes the Dragon a lot. This book is good but I prefer other books.

This book was about a boy called Budi who LOVED football. He even worked in a factory that made football boots! One day though, an accident happened and soon Budi finds himself needing to pay the Dragon back an impossible price…
Budi worried as his father got taken to prison, although he was innocent and has to live off even less the he had before. If he found his lost uncle though, perhaps things could return to normal. The question is, how can you get in contact with an uncle who is a criminal?
4 STARS
Really engaging and thought provoking, gives an extremely accurate view into a country with a decisive hierarchy where everyone is in debt and waiting for a pay rise that will never come (a bit like the NHS)
Overall, a great book would recommend to everyone.
