Synopsis

Football-crazy Leonard sits on the substitutes bench of the Ducie High School XI, but is never asked to play. Then everything changes. After a game near a nuclear power plant, a weird energy passes through Leonard, and that night he is visited by zombies . . . The ghostly players from the winning 1966 England World Cup team tell him that if he follows their instructions, not only will he get off the bench but Ducie High Xl will start to take control. Leonard obeys, and the teams prospects surge. But what is the price of the zombies involvement? How high will that price be and what pound of living flesh will they demand? Zombie Xl is a story about football, friendship, family and cross-cultural teen relationships. Its humour, drama - and occasional shivers - send this book straight to the back of the net.
