Johnny Ball: International Football Genius cover

New in the hilarious JOHNNY BALL series, shortlisted for the Children’s Sports Book Award.

Johnny Ball, 9-year-old football manager, has a new challenge: to take the Tissbury Tigers all the way, and win the WORLDIES! But superstar striker Daniel is injured and the squad is FOUR players short. So Johnny is switching his football brain into travel mode – here comes Johnny Ball, INTERNATIONAL FOOTBALL GENIUS!

Full of hilarious moments and some nail-biting ones, this story, with Tim Wesson’s rib-tickling black and white illustrations, will most certainly be a winner with young soccer enthusiasts. * Red Reading Hub *
This series is a fantastically funny look at the ‘beautiful game’ through the eyes of a brilliant tactician, who is just not that good at playing the actual game. These adventures will resonate not only with young players, but also with the parents who find themselves waiting on the sidelines. * The English Association *
