Josh undertakes some unusual training methods to improve his technique in this fun football story, edited to a reading age of 6.5.

City Boy follows Josh, who is football mad – just like his granddad, a former league player. Disappointed with his performance in school matches, Josh turns to his granddad for help. His granddad suggests some rather unorthodox training methods. Will Josh's new training help him succeed?

This story is particularly suitable for readers aged 11+ with a reading age of 6.5.
