This is a book that I am looking forward to putting on the shelves
at school - I know already that it will be a popular title amongst
our football-loving children (not just boys!). -

Read with my 7 year old who is football mad, really enjoyed it and
left us wanting to read the next one in the series! -
GoodReads Review
I love the way that they are about so much more than football: they
are about heart, values and family. Both graphic novel and fiction
titles are compelling, engaging and a lot of fun. Lace up and get
reading. - Jim Sells, Programme manager for Sport & Literacy,

EPIC! - Match of the Day Magazine
