Artikelbeschreibung

A young Sikh footballer reaches out across the generational divide to help a lonely old man in an uplifting story from acclaimed author Bali Rai.

Bobby Bains loves football. He also loves helping other people. As a Sikh, it's part of his religion. While helping his mum at the community food bank, Bobby meets an old man called Trevor, who seems lonely.

Bobby thinks Trevor would get on well with his nana-ji, his grandad. Both love football and reggae music. But Nana-ji and Trevor have dodgy old knees and can't run like they used to. So, Bobby hatches a plan to get them playing. They could use the exercise and perhaps Trevor won't feel so lonely any more.

Will Bobby's plan work? It's a big ask, but, after all, if you don't shoot, you don't score!

Particularly suitable for readers aged 9+ with a reading age of 8.

Pressestimmen

"This heart-warming story of kindness and community is a delight ... Bali Rai expertly touches on poverty and on the principles Sikhs live by, interweaving these themes and observations into a contemporary, engaging story. Daniel Duncan's black-and-white illustrations are full of expression and recognisable details." - BookTrust
