Opis

Rushton Reds are going to be famous. A TV documentary is being made about the team and Chris, Dal, Abs and Jason can't wait to show off their skills in front of the cameras. But is it more important looking to look like a star, or to play well as part of the team? Will fame go to their heads?

Recenzje

Rai is as familiar with junior soccer as he is with speech patterns of the age group, so his dialogue always rings true and will have younger readers hooked on his stories . . . His soccer stories are certain to score highly with the pre-teen age group Leicester Mercury
