Winner of the 2018 Branford Boase Award.
Selected for The Reading Agency's Summer Reading Challenge 2018.
Budi's plan is simple.
He's going to be a star.
Budi's going to play for the greatest team on earth, instead of sweating over each stitch he sews, each football boot he makes.
But one unlucky kick brings Budi's world crashing down. Now he owes the Dragon, the most dangerous man in Jakarta. Soon it isn't only Budi's dreams at stake, but his life.
A story about dreaming big, about hope and heroes, and never letting anything stand in your way.

Mitch Johnson studied English Literature with Creative Writing at the University of East Anglia. Mitch now works as a bookseller at Waterstones, Norwich, and writes in his spare time.

Mitch loves reading and, like Budi, is a big football fan (although his chances of turning professional are considerably slimmer).
