Will is football mad, but he's the shortest boy in the year, and one of the slowest. He knows his skills at passing and ball control could make up for his lack of size and strength, but the team coach is only interested in speed and strength. Will Will ever get a chance to show what he can do? Highly readable, exciting books that take the struggle out of reading, Wired encourages and supports reading practice by providing gripping, age-appropriate stories for struggling and reluctant readers or those with English as an additional language aged 11+, at a manageable length (64 pages) and reading level (8+). Produced in association with reading experts at CatchUp, a charity which aims to address underachievement caused by literacy and numeracy difficulties.

Born in London in 1954, Bob Moulder studied art at Watford and Belfast universities. Having worked as a professional illustrator for over thirty years, Bob's passion for drawing has led him to work for a range of leading publishers, magazines and organisations. Specialising in historical and sports illustrations, Bob's previous titles for A & C Black include Goal Getter and Zero to Hero. Seb Goffe is perhaps even more football mad than the characters he writes about. When not thinking about football, Seb plays in an indie band.
