Will fame go to the heads of the young footballers of Rushton Reds as their team appears on TV?
Having grown up in the heart of Leicester's Sikh community, Bali Rai went to London to study Politics. After managing a bar and thinking about becoming a journalist, he now devotes all his time to writing and visiting schools to talk about his books. He is the author of a number of titles for the Random House Children's list, several of which have won awards or been shortlisted; including Unarranged Marriage, which won four regional awards and was shortlisted for five others!The Whisper was shortlisted for the prestigious BookTrust Teenage Prize. Soccer Squad is his first younger book for the RHCB lists.
Rai is as familiar with junior soccer as he is with speech patterns
of the age group, so his dialogue always rings true and will have
younger readers hooked on his stories . . . His soccer stories are
certain to score highly with the pre-teen age group

Football is the driving force, of course, but there's also plenty
about friendship, about having what it takes and being part of a
team. Pacy, bright and breezy
