Book description
The next action-packed adventure in a series about one of the most
popular sports for kids in Australia - soccer. There's a new kid at
Jasper's school. His name is Aamir and he can't speak English, but when
Jasper remembers his grandad saying that you don't need language to play
sport, he takes Aamir onto the soccer field to teach him a few tricks.
Aamir already has a few of his own, and he's soon invited to join the
Rovers. The trouble is, star Eastville Kings player Badger Mackenzie
can't resist doing what he does best - badgering his opponent to put
them off their game. This time his target is Aamir. Someone will be sent
off the field with a red card - but who will it be? And will it affect
the Rovers' wish of one day playing in the finals? 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.
