I liked this book because I'm realy into football. The main character was Yunis he is an AMAZING footballer! He is the top goal-scorer in the under 12 Academy. His dad never watches him play football and he thinks that education is more important than football and he has to complete his homework before he can practice trining with Jake and his friends. One night his mum tells Yunis why his dad does not like football. I would recommend this book for seven to nine year old children.
