A NEW ERA KICKS OFF!

Roy Race is a totally normal 16-year-old. He just happens to be the best striker in Melchester, too...

Roy's always dreamed of becoming a professional footballer and playing for Melchester Rovers, the team he s supported his entire life, but he never thought he'd get a chance - until now.

Rovers are on the lookout for new players, but is Roy good enough to catch the scout s eye? He ll have to be fitter, stronger and more determined than ever - but if he s going to become Roy of the Rovers, now s the time!

Praise for the Roy of the Rovers series:

EPIC! - Match of the Day Magazine

I love the way that they are about so much more than football: they are about heart, values and family. Both graphic novel and fiction titles are compelling, engaging and a lot of fun. Lace up and get reading. - Jim Sells, Programme manager for Sport & Literacy, National Literacy Trust.

Read with my 7 year old who is football mad, really enjoyed it and left us wanting to read the next one in the series! - GoodReads Review
