TRIUMPH OR TRAGEDY? Pressure is the sixth book in the football-tastic Roy of the Rovers Graphic Novel series. Part of the second season, this exciting series is written by award-winning comics writer Rob Williams.
Having had their thirty-point deduction rescinded, Melchester Rovers find themselves back in the top half of the table with a chance of promotion to the Championship. For joint-captain Roy Race, things are still far from good. With a League Cup final looming and every point vital in their quest to attract new ownership, Roy has hit a patch of rough form and can't find the back of the net! Prepare for a nail-biting finale as the final whistle blows on another action-packed season!

Praise for the Roy of the Rovers series:
EPIC! - Match of the Day Magazine
I love the way that they are about so much more than football: they are about heart, values and family. Both graphic novel and fiction titles are compelling, engaging and a lot of fun. Lace up and get reading. - Jim Sells, Programme manager for Sport & Literacy, National Literacy Trust.
Read with my 7 year old who is football mad, really enjoyed it and left us wanting to read the next one in the series! - GoodReads Review

The quality of these comic books take them high into the Premier League and if you haven't joined the team yet then get a season ticket. You won't be disappointed." - ComicScene "Such an exciting story... I couldn't put it down, even read it outside at break time." - D (aged 9) (Toppsta Website)More details
