Editorial Reviews

Review

A wonderful story about doing the right thing! Wasim is a great new character. www.bettybookmark.co.uk Entertaining... the story romps along with light-hearted demeanour. Scholastic Best Books of the Year 2007 A character that primary school children and teachers will recognise and respond to with pleasure... the blend of compulsive sporting drama with commonplace issues make ideal group readers for lower juniors. -- Kate Agnew Guardian --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
