When Jay discovers a talent for computing, will he pursue his newfound passion or follow the crowd? A heartwarming story from the multi-award-winning author of Anisha the Accidental Detective.

Can you be true to yourself without losing your friends along the way? Jay is excited about a game-design project being worked on by the Computing Club at school. He wants to join in, but there’s a big problem.

Jay’s friends think Computing is only for nerds and they want him to join a new football team with them. Both activities happen at the same time, so Jay has to choose.

Can he find the courage to tell his friends how he really feels, and if he does, will it mean their friendship is over …?

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