Nominated for the Carnegie Medal for writing 2025
A moving and thought-provoking middle-grade novel from author of the Carnegie-winning The Blue Book of Nebo. Exploring themes of family, football, friendship, physical disability and illiteracy, this is a story about hope and the complicated relationship between a father and son when the one interest they share is taken away from them.
"A sensitive portrayal of a family under pressure, which addresses important issues with empathy and warmth." - Simon Packham
Sam and his dad both love football, which is always there for them however tough real life becomes. That is, until Dad's dreams of football stardom go horribly wrong. Sam's love for the footballing legend becomes tangled with his relationship for his father as things go south in their family life.
Reviews of The Blue Book of Nebo:
