Book description
Roddy Jones has just started Stadium School and has made some equally
passionate and determined friends, none more so than Jimmy. He is a
gifted player and easily outshines his rival, Jack. And with first team
selection round the corner, Jimmy is sure to be chosen. Nothing can hold
him back from realising his footballing dream...except his lucky socks.
But when one sock goes missing, Jimmy's superstitions leave him in
doubt. Then a note appears telling Jimmy he will get his sock back, but
only if he walks the forbidden and haunted old stadium grounds at
midnight. Desperate for his lucky sock, will Jimmy risk breaking school
rules, or can Roddy help lay his ghosts before they consume him, or
worse, expel him... Before becoming a full-time writer Cindy Jefferies
had a varied career that had nothing to do with writing, including being
a Venetian-mask maker and a video DJ. Cindy's first novel, Sebastian's
Quest, was published by Barry Cunningham at Chicken House. Now she is
best known for her popular series Fame School (Usborne) set at a school
for the performing arts. Stadium School is Cindy's first book co-written
with her son Seb, who is perhaps even more football-mad than the books'
characters. When not thinking about football, Seb plays in an indie
band.
