If It Wasn't for Tom: Band 09 Gold/Band 16 Sapphire

By Cathy MacPhail

If it wasn't for Tom, one young boy would be much happier at school - he would be able to play football without being taunted from the sidelines. But is Tom as strong-willed when he is forced to play football as well? This thought-provoking story was written by award-winning author Catherine MacPhail.
