A fun football tale for little readers packed with laughs, friendship and a spot of superstition …
Ridiculous injuries … strange illnesses … cancelled games … Everything's going wrong for the Saints this season, and Stanley's team-mates believe they finally know why. Their football kit is cursed! But the team's attempts to break the curse take things from bad to worse. Soon, they're ready to call it quits. Stanley's still got some tricks up his sleeve … but will his curse-cracking ideas save the team in time for the last game of the season?
"Perfectly pitched (no pun intended)" – The Letterpress Project
"A great fun read for football fans young and old" – The Book Activist, Blog
"Laughs, friendship and a spot of superstition in a big-hearted football tale from the consistently brilliant Phil Earle" – The Bookseller
"The action flows, both on the pitch and in the dressing room, and the story feels as real and authentic as a pair of muddy football boots. Steve May’s illustrations are bang on and in Barrington Stoke style, this is accessible even to reluctant or dyslexic readers. A winner!" – LoveReading4Kids
