Book description
Dal, Chris, Abs and Jason have made the squad for the local youth
club under-11s football team. And after their first match (not
as successful as they'd have liked), they are determined to prove that
they've got what it takes to be winners.
Jason, Dal, Abs and Chris are about to be famous! A TV documentary
is being made about their team and everyone wants the chance to shine
in front of the cameras. But what is more important - looking like a
star, or playing well as part of the team? When Abs takes his posing a
bit too far, is he getting too big for his boots?
