Back of the Net by Eve Ainsworth

Facing up to fears of bullying, Eva finds the courage to take to the field in this heartwarming tale from acclaimed author Eve Ainsworth. Eva's football skills make her stand out while playing at break-time at school, so her friends can't understand why she's reluctant to join them in playing for their local team, the Lightmoor Lionesses. Horribly bullied at her last school due to a painful skin condition, Eva is terrified that the same thing will happen again if her new friends find out. Her instinct is to hide away, but can she find the courage to take to the field and play the game she loves?
