Critics Review
The students love it. Even students who don’t enjoy reading come in to borrow these books… I think I’ll end up buying every book in the series! * Toppsta Reviewer *
I am the world’s biggest football fan so there was no way I wasn’t going to love this book! It had lots of different bits in the book, teaching me so much through fact pages, news reports, games, quizzes- the list goes on! I’m not a great reader but this was a fun book and I whizzed through it! * Toppsta Reviewer *
Lots of facts in a format that is easy to read - this will be popular at school. * Toppsta Reviewer *
A lovely addition to our school library! Football books are always really popular, especially with reluctant readers. * Toppsta Reviewer *
