Description
Teamwork can help the dream work, but what will happen when Scott has to play for the other side … the girls' team! Paul Stewart wraps up the action for the Dale Juniors in the climactic final instalment of the Football Mad series.
Dale Juniors are three-time winners of the Langton Town football cup, but they’re about to face a whole new challenge: a charity match against the girls’ team.
For Scott, Danny and Jack, the stakes are high. They’ve got to hold on to their reputation as winners or risk becoming the laughing stock of the whole school!
But disaster strikes when the big day arrives. The girls are a player short, so Scott is forced to switch sides. He must decide where his loyalties lie – with his friends or with his team?
Particularly suitable for readers aged 9+ with a reading age of 8.

About the Author
Michael Broad lives in Surrey with a big black dog called Bella who likes to drop toys at his feet while he’s writing or drawing and then waits for him to get up and trip over them.Michael studied illustration at Portsmouth University, earning 1st Class Honors, and after brief detours in film and animation he now works solely on writing and illustrating books for children of all ages.His picture books include Scaredy Cat and Boo! which was nominated for the Kate Greenaway Medal. He also writes young fiction series like The Unbelievable Adventures of Jake Cake, of which the first book, The Werewolf Teacher, was shortlisted for the Waterstone''s Children''s Book Prize and the Nottingham Children''s Book Award.Michael has a particular interest in writing for reluctant readers, having been one himself, so he tries to pack as much adventure into as few words as possible, and then throws in oodles of illustrations!When he’s not writing or drawing, which is hardly ever because it’s so much fun, Michael likes long walks with Bella, drinking whole pots of tea and painting big canvasses.
