Reviews

[Paula Hale · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a brilliant book to explore friendship and loyality through the theme of football. This will be a very popular read in my classroon. Barrington Stoke have some wonderful books to engage reluctant readers at the moment this is certainly one of them.
