What do girls know about football? Seb's about to learn exactly that... Edited to a reading age of 6.5.

Red Card tells the story of Seb, a fantastic football player who is very aware of his skills. His big ego often makes it difficult for even his best friend to be around him. Seb is in need of a reality check, and it comes in the form of a new referee. Much to his surprise, the referee, Jenny, is a girl!

Jenny knows a thing or two about football, and through her, Seb begins to realise that his behaviour might not get him everything he desires. The story beautifully unfolds Seb's journey towards understanding and change.

Particularly suitable for readers aged 11+ with a reading age of 6.5.
