ROCKY TAKES OVER!

A struggling student and brilliant footballer, Rocky Race is many things, but to most people she's just Roy Race's little sister. It's not much fun especially as Melchester Rovers head to the League Cup Final.

Rocky's sick of everyone knowing her through Roy, she's had enough of school, and she's even started having panic attacks.

Now it's up to Rocky to find her own way as a person and a player and she's going to need all her grit and determination to do it...

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
