"""This book is about football but in the most part, it is about kindness, friendship, loneliness, the important work of food banks and a sense of community … We adored this book, learnt a lot about the Sikh religion from it and found it, in its brilliantly accessible format, led to conversations about much wider social themes than we could have expected."" – Bentley Heath PS Book Club ""Few things have the ability to unite people like football does … In this gorgeous new novella … the power of football is explored in the most beautiful way, alongside the importance of showing kindness to others and combatting loneliness – especially in the older generation – in a story that is both heartwarming and deeply thought-provoking … an inclusive and an incredibly important read for those in Year 4 upwards."" – Mrs Sydney's Famous World's Smallest Library"
