Media Reviews
The narrative moves along quite quickly with constantly changing domestic scenes, exciting match reports and various groups and people interacting ... A suitable short novel for 10 year olds and upwards The School Librarian A real winner with reluctant boys in Years 7 and 8 ... There's action and a great deal of drama in this pacy story: the reader is never given time to be bored! Literacy and Learning
