Book description
'WHO WANTS TO WATCH OTHER PEOPLE SCORE ALL THE GOALS?'
Chris is a goalscorer - but his life is a mess. He's falling out
with everyone: his dad, his teachers, even his best mate. The only
thing that akes him feel good is banging the ball into the back of the
net. He certainly doesn't want to play in defence - even if his school
team does need defenders.
Ian Rawson is Chris's new neighbour. An ex-Premier League defender,
he's absolute magic on the pitch, in total control of the game . . .
When Chris sees Ian play, he starts to wonder. Has he got it all
wrong about defenders? And if he changes his mind, will there still be
a place for him in the team?
Paul May is a teacher and keen footballer with two children. His
first book for the Transworld lists, TROUBLEMAKERS, was shortlisted for
the inaugural Branford Boase Award
