Ben is a talented young winger, brimming with confidence on the pitch. He has a real instinct for football: Coach says he can read the game beautifully. But off the field, things aren’t quite so simple. Ben’s struggle with reading words is causing more and more problems for him.

    I liked this book because I read it last night and I liked the surprise that Ben was in year 7 because I thought he was probably in Year 5.
