When a new headmaster bans football/soccer at this school our kids are going to do anything to keep on playing. They find a hidden court, clean it up, and train with all their might. However I did think the way they were discovered was just dumb, not to mention that they were almost discovered by one of them who couldn't keep his mouth shut and had to shout and scream like an idiot. I could understand the reasoning behind the headmaster and the ban, BUT I think it was a bit over the top. The ending was nice, well at points, I did love the match, but found it a shame that happened. I guess I could have expected it, it is still a children's book.
There were also illustrations throughout the book and I liked them very much.

This book is about These kids who love to play football and on the first day back from Summer break they have an assembly to welcome their new Principal who is a little stricter than they thought. So It is up to Lily, Zack, Khal, Maddie and James to make life at school a little more fun.

I recommend this book to kids ages 9-12
