'Jamie's heart seemed to be beating all through his body. Everything depended on him. He had to score.'

Jamie Johnson is a talented footballer – with a temper. He's desperate to become Kingfield's greatest left-winger. He's got so much to prove, and not just on the football pitch. So why aren't his teachers, mum and best friends supporting him? The pressure's on – can Jamie keep his temper long enough to score a goal when it's match-time?

I really liked this book because it was fast-paced and humorous. I liked how it was realistic football rather than something like a kick so hard it ripped the net. At some points in the story, I actually felt like I was in the crowd watching Jamie play. After finishing the book, I really did want to go outside and play football. I would rate this amazing, funny book five stars.
