Wishing Shelf Award Reviews: “This is a funny book with lots of things happening I didn't expect. I think other boys aged 11 - 12 will find it really good too. Particularly if they like football!” Boy, aged 12 “What an amazing book! I loved the cartoon illustrations and I thought the story based around trying to win the football match was exciting and fun to read about. The coach in the story is a bully and I think this book has a good anti-bullying theme to it.” Girl, aged 12 “I read three books this month and this was the best.” Boy, aged 10 “It’s always difficult to balance a ‘message’, in this case, anti-bullying, with an exciting adventure. But the author has done an admirable job making his story accessible in terms of writing style whilst offering a strong cast of characters children will relate to.” Primary school teacher, age 50 www.alexhallatt.com/fab Alex Hallatt is a cartoonist and writer, who has lived in the UK, US, Australia, Spain and New Zealand (where she currently lives with her partner, Duncan).
