Description

A fun football story from one of the UK’ s top writers of sports fiction for children, re-packaged in an appealing chunky new edition. As with all titles in the Conkers series, the book benefits from lots of fun extras, activities and quizzes.

Lily, Zack and Khal can't believe it when the new headmaster at their school bans football in the playground. What are a gang of football-mad kids meant to do at break-time now? Then Zack has a brilliant plan and a very secret football club is formed… Light-hearted and uplifting, this tale of football-underdogs-with-a-twist is lots of fun.
