Book description
The Rough Diamonds are a close knit team. Kev McGovern, their captain,
makes sure they work hard and play hard. Kev is stunned when he
discovers that Dave has to cope with epilepsy. When he suffers a major
attack, the victory the Rough Diamonds are so desperate to win, hangs in
the balance. Alan Gibbons is a full-time writer and a visiting speaker
and lecturer at schools, colleges and literary events nationwide,
including the major book festivals: Edinburgh, Northern Children's Book
Festival, Swansea, Cheltenham, Sheffield and Salford. Alan has recently
embarked on a high-profile, nationwide campaign to champion libraries
and librarianship and to reevaluate government commitment to educational
spending. He lives in Liverpool with his wife and four children.
