Book description
The fifth book in the fast-paced Football Academy series.
James has been a junior player at United for a long time. Everyone
expects him to follow in his dad's footsteps and play for England one
day. But James isn't so sure. He has something he wants to do even
more than football. Something that means he would have to give up
football. The problem is he doesn't want to disappoint his dad. At a
tournament in London, where he is pitched against Arsenal and Chelsea
players, James finally makes his mind up.
As well as being a huge football fan, Tom Palmer has an international
reputation in reader development. He is a coordinator of the Reading
Partners consortium, works with The Reading Agency, Booktrust and the
National Literacy Trust, and has been the official writer for the
Premier League Reading Stars scheme. He is the author of the Football
Detective series, for older readers. Tom lives in West Yorkshire with
his wife and daughter.
