Sean Goes to Barcelona



Sean Goes to Barcelona by Tanya Preminger; illustrated by Elettra Cudignotto     74 pages

Eight-year-old Sean and his mom are on a trip of a lifetime. They are in Barcelona, Spain, so that Sean may attend a FC Barcelona soccer game, see Sean’s idol, Lionel Messi, and hopefully get an autograph.

In this second book about soccer and goals, Sean turns into a whiny kid, begging his mother to buy him practically everything he sees and pout when she says no. Mommy states several times that the trip is expensive; I’m not sure why she has gifted him this adventure.

As the duo takes in the city, Sean is obsessed with Messi, to the point of grating on my nerves, and if he will be able to obtain an autograph. Basically, Sean makes the trip terrible for Mommy. 

Mommy does her best to help Sean figure out how he will stand out on a crowd of tens of thousands. However, nothing can compensate for Sean’s complaints and tantrums.  Therefore,
“Sean Goes to Barcelona” receives 2 out of 5 stars in Julie’s world.
