Description
Adele Vialli is a 14-year-old girl with a passion for football and a penchant for trouble. Her life in a leafy suburb seems dull, so she seeks excitement through shoplifting and her relationship with footballer Marcus. However, when an England scout comes to her school, Adele's future looks bright. But things take a turn when her father starts flirting with the mother of her rival on the football team, Mikaela. As tensions rise between the two girls, their families' relationships become increasingly complicated. This story explores what it means to grow up in a culturally-diverse Britain today and the struggle every young person faces in finding out who they really are. With its honest, tender, and witty tone, this book offers an authentic examination of teenage life and identity.
