Literary World Cup - Part I

"Brazil eats, sleeps and drinks football. It lives football!" - Pele

Halifax Public Libraries' collection is so diverse that we have books to represent each soccer team in the ‪2014 FIFA ‎World Cup in Brazil! So we decided to have our own ‎Literary World Cup matchups with titles from our Fiction, Non-Fiction, and Multilingual collections.
