Strike Back

The Soccer Series #2

by Simon Alder

Don’t get mad. Get even.

No longer underdogs, Malcolm and the Animals’ are back together for another round of soccer action

But this season’s rivals, the Hellhounds, are even meaner than last season. They play dirty—they kick, trip, elbow and sucker-punch. And their sneaky tricks rarely get caught.
Malcolm is fed up! Coach Harris wants them to win the league finals with skill and fair play. But Nick and the new kid have a better idea—one last prank to end all pranks.

Only the Hellhounds stand between the Animals and total victory. So, what will the Animals do?

Play fair and lose? Or play dirty and win?
