When aliens mistake schoolboy Nick and his fellow
misfits for the world's greatest football players, they are whisked
across the Milky Way to compete in an intergalactic football
tournament against REAL ALIENS.
The only problem?
They are NOT the greatest football players on Earth - they're the WORST! But if they want to go home, they'll have to lace up their boots and try to actually score a goal . . .
'Joyce plays a blinder with his wacky and wonderfully original
intergalactic adventure' LANCASHIRE POST
