In the summer of his seventeenth year, Samuel Sooleymon gets the chance of a lifetime: a trip to the United States with his South Sudanese teammates to play in a showcase basketball tournament. He has never been away from home, nor has he ever been on an airplane. The opportunity to be scouted by dozens of college coaches is a dream come true. Samuel is an amazing athlete, with speed, quickness, and an astonishing vertical leap. The rest of his game, though, needs work, and the American coaches are less than impressed. During the tournament, Samuel receives devastating news from home: A civil war is raging across South Sudan, and rebel troops have ransacked his village. His father is dead, his sister is missing, and his mother and two younger brothers are in a refugee camp. Samuel desperately wants to go home, but it’s just not possible. Partly out of sympathy, the coach of North Carolina Central offers him a scholarship. Samuel moves to Durham, enrolls in classes, joins the team, and prepares to sit out his freshman season. There is plenty of more mature talent and he isn’t immediately needed. But Samuel has something no other player has: a fierce determination to succeed so he can bring his family to America. He works tirelessly on his game, shooting baskets every morning at dawn by himself in the gym, and soon he’s dominating everyone in practice. With the Central team losing and suffering injury after injury, Sooley, as he is nicknamed, is called off the bench. And the legend begins. But how far can Sooley take his team? And will success allow him to save his family?

Неймовірна історія про силу духу та рішучість!

Книга "Сулі" - це не просто спортивна історія, а справжня емоційна подорож, яка змушує задуматися про важливість сім'ї, мрій та боротьби за своє місце в житті. Семюель Сулеймон, головний герой, втілює в собі всі якості, які ми цінуємо: відвагу, рішучість і прагнення до успіху. Його шлях від Південного Судану до Сполучених Штатів, де він стикається з численними труднощами, є надзвичайно зворушливим. Книга майстерно поєднує спортивні змагання з особистими трагедіями, показуючи, як важливо не здаватися, навіть коли обставини здаються безнадійними. Читачі можуть легко відчути емоції Семюеля, його страхи та надії, а також його незламну волю до перемоги. Це не лише історія про баскетбол, а й про людяність, родинні зв'язки та силу мрій. Рекомендую всім, хто шукає натхнення і хоче відчути справжню силу духу!
