Synopsis

Best friends Shay and Frankie, and their team AC United, are back for another football season, another year older, and eager for a win… The duo soon realise that nothing ever stays the same, and change is a part of life whether they like it or not – both on and off the pitch. With new team members, the threat of losing their precious home turf, and changes afoot in their family lives too, can the boys work together to stay on track… and keep winning? And, of course, who will be crowned Baller Boy this season?

    This is a fantastic book, especially for footy fans which I can relate to. Was an added bonus listening to my nephew read aloud to me we both loved it.

    My son loves this book. He is only 19 months and everyday wants me to read him a page or two he loves the pictures and I love to see him so happy when I read the book to him 😎😎

    My daughters love this book. One plays football but the other doesn’t but they both love the story line and Ashleigh the girl character, they say she looks like them which they love x

  13. Herbert on 05/10/2023 at 9:41 am

    Enjoyed reading this with my grandson, as a black man I wish I’d had books like this when I was growing my sons.

  14. Sugar on 05/10/2023 at 9:52 am

    My eleven year old Goddaugher is well into the book as the character Ashleigh is based on her football crazy cousin.

    Thoroughly enjoyable read. Perfect for children.

  22. Sacdiya on 09/10/2023 at 8:51 pm

    my children are liked and the book was interesting

  23. Sacha on 10/10/2023 at 11:47 am

    Both my son aged 8 and his sister aged 10 read both books by this author. My son loves both the football aspect and the storylines and his sister the storylines because she relates to the characters lives and now loves Ashleigh the new girl. looking forward to book 3. The football in the books is great, but you don’t have to like football to enjoy these stories as there’s so much more going on. 10/10

  24. Howard Johnson on 11/10/2023 at 2:53 pm

    Today at our school, we met Venessa Taylor and she was super duper kind to all of us and she told us about her being petrified of tiny cats, she loves horses, but is allergic to him, she used to be a teacher! I had so much fun, I hope Vanessa sees this. I’m the one in 5T
