Product description

Promising young players go all out to fulfil their dreams in these gripping mid-length football stories for able readers. Combining on-pitch action with strong characters and lots of psychological insights into the obstacles and rivalries that the boys face, this is winning stuff from a Blue Peter Award nominee. Can Yunis persuade his father that football is a worthwhile career choice? Can Polish goalie Tomasz show the others why he is proud of his home country? Can Joe face up to bullies and take control of his game again? The series author, Tom Palmer, has worked with Booktrust and the National Literacy Trust, and was an official writer for the Premier League Reading Stars scheme.
