In a Nutshell: football – family – fair play
Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, but as Bill Shankly said, it’s much more important than that. Noah really needs to play in the Schools World Cup so when he’s suspended – unfairly – from the school team Stevie, his friend and a tactical genius, finds a way round the rules.
It’s a classic story of a group of almost no-hopers forming themselves into a real team, with the added bonuses of crooked opponents and Noah’s special motivation. Funny, exciting, really good on the mechanics of the beautiful game and with a great cast of characters, it’s a rewarding read; in fact, in a game of two halves, this book would win both of them. ~ Andrea Reece
This is recommended for fans of Frank Cottrell Boyce and Tom Palmer also writes exciting football stories.

Determined to live up to his Mighty Dynamo nickname, Noah must find his own way to enter the contest - no matter what it takes!
