A timely and thought-provoking football story about prejudice and acceptance, including facts about refugees and the role football can play in welcoming new members of the community."Packed with plenty of detailed football match action … a well told story that encourages empathy for refugees" – The Letterpress Project
"A great book to introduce the importance of being tolerant and accepting others, irrespective of where they’re from" – Books for Topics
"A short, but necessary, story … It’s got football at its heart, and would appeal to all football fans out thereAnd the other thing that matters is friendship. Fairness. Understanding that not everyone is the same, but that we are equal in our own way, and that we all matter … I hope this book will both entertain and inform, and change" – Book Witch
"An important message about sport and the way it can bring together people from different communities, helping them to integrate" – Parents in Touch
