Description

Battling problems at home, Amelia risks her spot on the football squad when she lashes out at her teammates in this sensitively told sports tale from acclaimed author Eve Ainsworth.

Football used to be a way for Amelia to escape when her parents were arguing, but now that her dad has moved out and her mum is struggling to cope, its just another source of stress.

Amelia is late for practice while trying to help her mum and finds it hard to concentrate during important matches. Her coach and team-mates are all worried, but its difficult to help when Amelia lashes out in anger.

Can Amelia find a way to get the support she needs before her temper pushes everyone away
