The Perilous Pitch

By Zac Marks

It's the worst pitch ever. But it's better than nothing.

Now, the council want to take it away. When Jed and his friends hear there are plans to build on their pitch, they do everything they can to stop it from happening. It's their home ground, and there aren't any other places to play in the village.

But who's going to listen to a group of kids? And how can they make the council change their mind? One thing's for sure: they're not going to achieve anything unless they act as a team. They need to work out their differences before it's too late.

The Perilous Pitch is part of 'The Football Boys' series, action-packed books for football and soccer-mad kids aged 8-12
