Woody turns to rugby to get him through the toughest time in his life in this first instalment in an action-packed sports trilogy.

Borderlands is no ordinary school – all of the students boarding there have parents in the armed forces, and the UK is drawing perilously close to war in the Middle East.

New boy Woody is desperate to escape the school and find his way to his dad's military base, but his dad has been mobilised. He's gone. Worried and unhappy, Woody turns to the only thing that could help get him through – rugby.

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