Description
"THEY'LL PULVERIZE US!"
Fizz and her mates at Hillside Primary love playing football - but the school team's first match is against the Church Street gang (mean, nasty and horrible - and that's how they play their football too). That's when their teacher decides Smithy gets the job of goalkeeper - a position Smithy HATES. Now they've got to play against the roughest bunch ever, with a goalie who doesn't want to be there. Can Fizz and Smithy team up to beat the Church Street team?

Reviews / Votes
The pafce is brisk and there is enough humour to keep the reader entertained to the final whistle. Sheppard's roughly sketched, spindle-legged characters add to the humour * Books For Keeps *More details
