Description

Twelve-year-old Nick is a football-mad boy who hates books. But when it comes to football, he's unstoppable. In this energetic novel-in-verse, Kwame Alexander captures the thrills and setbacks of a World Cup match, as Nick navigates his parents' break-up, stands up to bullies, and tries to impress the girl of his dreams. Football, family, love, and friendship take centre stage as Nick figures out how to balance his passions and priorities. As Nick faces challenges that seem even harder than scoring a game-winning goal, his life - and his best friend's - changes in unexpected ways. With its action-packed and emotional tone, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone who's ever felt the thrill of competition, the sting of defeat, or the joy of finding your place in the world. Written in verse, this novel-in-verse by Kwame Alexander is a heart-pumping, thought-provoking read that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
