"All the fun of top-level junior football with added espionage."
Young readers who like football and enjoy reading about Alex Rider or the young James Bond are going to love this new series from Matt Oldfield which cleverly combines the two areas of interest.
Ethan Fox is a talented young football player, great at passing and controlling play, and especially good at exploiting cracks in the opposition’s gameplan. His smart moves on and off the ball win him a place on the local club’s Under-14s team.
But his quick wits have caught the eye of the mysterious Department Eleven, a special government organisation looking into possible corruption at Hurricanes FC. He agrees to join them and soon he’s learning all the skills a spy needs to work undercover and kitted out with the kind of gadgets that would have Alex Rider green with envy.
As the story unfolds, Ethan discovers there is something decidedly dodgy going on. Can he expose it while still playing his best football?
The story is action-packed, switching from Ethans’ exploits on the pitch to his efforts to expose the crooks with all the smoothness of a perfectly timed cross. It’s thrilling stuff and if you know a young football fan, this could be just the adventure to get them to ‘Go All In’ on reading.
Ethan Fox is living a double life. He isn't just a talented football player - he's also a spy!Midfielder Ethan Fox has never stood out on the pitch, despite his high football IQ. But when he gets scouted by an elite academy, it's his chance to prove he has what it takes. This could be Ethan's last hope to live out his dream - and provide for his family.
