Book description
When the Glory Gardens team discover that their ground has been sold to
build a new hotel they decide to return to their roots and play the
season's league games on Glory Gardens recreation ground. But the pitch
is far from ideal and several players are hurt batting on such a
terrible wicket. With the team losing matches, Hooker losing his form
and the injuries mounting Clive, Matthew and Azzie are threatening to
leave Glory Gardens to play for another team. Can Jo convince them to
stay, and can the new captain, Erica, put together a side capable of
beating their old enemy, Wyckham Wanderers, and maintaining their league
title? Bob Cattell grew up in the fens of East Anglia and now lives
near Southwold in Suffolk. In between he worked in London in
advertising, bookselling, public relations, copywriting and teaching.
His first published children's book was Glory in the Cup (in the Glory
Gardens cricket series), written while he was running a bookshop on a
boat in Greenwich. He likes walking in mountains, theatre, opera and
most sports and supports Yorkshire CCC and Aston Villa.
