Battling problems at home, Amelia risks her spot on the football squad when she lashes out at her teammates in this sensitively told sports tale from acclaimed author Eve Ainsworth.

Seeing Red explores the challenges faced by Amelia, for whom football used to be an escape when her parents were arguing. Now that her dad has moved out and her mum is struggling to cope, it has become just another source of stress.

Amelia finds herself late for practice while trying to help her mum and struggles to concentrate during important matches. Her coach and teammates are all worried, but it’s difficult to help when Amelia lashes out in anger.

Can Amelia find a way to get the support she needs before her temper pushes everyone away?

Particularly suitable for readers aged 9+ with a reading age of 8.
