Description

Sam's football team are struggling this season. They keep losing matches and captain Jordan's bad attitude isn't helping anyone. When Sam spots Hasan playing for the refugee team on the next pitch, he can see that Hasan's got talent and invites him along to practise. Hasan and his friend Faisal are skilled players - exactly what the team needs. But Jordan's not ready to accept them so easily. With the last game of the season fast approaching, Sam must help the boys pull together in time. This story explores how football can bring people together and overcome prejudice. A timely and thought-provoking tale about acceptance and friendship, Home Ground is suitable for readers aged 9+.
