It’s summer and the Kingsway Colts are busy preparing for their first ever football tournament.
However, when Alfie Jones learns that the Colts’ former coach and captain have formed a new team, and that they will also be playing in the tournament, he is given some unusual advice by the mysterious fortune teller Madam Zola – “never judge a book by its cover.”
Having been warned that failure to act on this advice will result in his dream of one day becoming a professional footballer not coming true, Alfie must work out just what his strange friend is talking about.
But with Keith and Jasper Johnson out for revenge against their former team, and with a superstar player in their squad, Alfie is in a race against time to solve the riddle.
