Book description
Q: What do you get when you cross an Australian soccer legend with a
bestselling children's author? A: Johnny Warren and Deborah Abela's
soccer series for kids! Jasper Zammit is a soccer legendà Â- at least in
his own head. Whole stadiums shout his name as he bends balls, accepts
trophies and scores magic goals for the Rovers Under-11s. When a new
girl, Lil, joins the team, Jasper thinks he's found someone as obsessed
with soccer as he is. But there's one hitch - Lil's dad is the reason
Jasper's dad has lost his job. Can the two still be friends? Having
always been short and a bit of a coward, Deborah Abela dreamed of being
braver and stronger, which is probably why she writes books about spies,
ghosts, soccer legends and characters good with swords who take on sea
monsters and evil harbour lords. She is the author of the Max Remy
Superspy series, Jasper Zammit (Soccer Legend) series, Ghost Club
series, The Remarkable Secret of Aurelie Bonhoffen and Grimsdon. She's
won awards for her books but mostly hopes, one day, to be as brave as
the characters inside.
