The Team #1

by David Bedford, Keith Brumpton (Illustrator)

8-0? How could The Team lose 8-0? Easily! Harveys team always loses. Professor Gertie, Harveys neighbor, cant really understand it, but her gamewinning inventions for The Team just havent helped. (Her Bouncy Boots were too bouncy and her Smoke Machine was too smoky.) Now she thinks she has the perfect Mark 1, the Soccer Machine. He has a metal body covered with Squidgy Skin, a top speed of 45 miles per hourand hes programmed to win! But will this latest invention really work? Can The Team actually win?
