I found Football School - Epic Heroes a really interesting book. How many interesting tales it has! I found some facts about football that I didn't know before. There were a lot of dramatic victories and the illustrations were perfect! * Books Up North * Featured in The Bookseller's September Previews. -- Fiona Noble * The Bookseller *
