Why it works
A school seven-a-side football team that, as well as playing, investigates why referees keep falling asleep in the middle of matches. It mixes league, gang of friends and mystery, with short chapters and illustrations. It is the series that has turned many children who only wanted a ball into readers, and there are thirty or so titles to carry on with.
Our verdict
The book for the football fan aged eight to ten who says reading is a bore. If they have already read several, give the next ones in the series and not this one.
They will like it if
- they play football
- they read only as much as they have to
- they like stories about a gang of friends
Bear in mind
- it is 296 pages: for readers with a bit of practice
- if they are not interested in football, it will not grip them
