Book excerpt: Ryan is thrilled when he realizes he has a natural flair for football. But then he has to move away and knows he'll never be picked for the team at his new school - they don't like outsiders, especially foster kids. So Ryan does what he knows best, he gets into fights, disrupts the classes, and eventually gets kicked out of school. Back at the children's home, he is sent out for fostering once again. But will he be able to fit into his new home? And will he be able to find anyone who shares his passion for football? * Exciting football story which also deals with the emotions and problems of a foster child trying to fit in. * Football stories are popular at this age range and this story fits in with several other football stories published by OUP. * Illustrated in black and white
