When Falcons Fly

By: Fawcett, Jon

When Falcons Fly is, in its essence, a diary of a season in the life of a youth football team. But it's much more than this. As the season progresses the match reports become increasingly fun and fanciful. Chapters become themed, characters both historical and fictional enter the fray as the narrative veers from fantastical to poetic. When Falcons Fly is a book about football: the emotional highs and lows experienced by the players, coaches and parents alike are highlighted with a deft, humorous touch. The book should be an easy read for anyone ten years old or over and includes pencil-like images of the players that help bring the prose to life. The rollercoaster of the season's themes resonate with amateur coaches, parents of young players and the players themselves. The book may not be an allegory for life, but it does hold a mirror to all of us who have been involved with youth team sport (particularly when it's freezing and raining on the sideline). Please do enjoy When Falcons Fly. That's what it's there for
