(Strawberry Towers Publishing, Jan. 7, 2016)
Jack hates everything about his new school; the building, the teachers, the lessons and, even more than anything else, the captain of the school football team, Jayden Hughes. For some unknown reason, Hughes has decided to makes it his life’s mission to give Jack a hard time, both in class and out on the football pitch. However, football is Jack’s passion and he is determined not to let Hughes get in the way of his one and only goal – which is to be the first choice school team goalkeeper. Jack has both the enthusiasm and the talent, but unfortunately not a pair of goalkeeping gloves. This is mainly down to a lack of funds – a fact that Hughes gleefully jumps on and uses to taunt Jack. Despite Christmas being only a week away, the likelihood of Jack getting his hands on – or into – a pair of gloves is very slim. Well, that is until Uncle Mikey pays the Bensons a visit and comes bearing gifts. And for Jack, a very special and magical gift...A novelette from Lex Fraser – part of the Skull and Crossbones collection (adventure, mystery and spooky stories aimed at readers aged between 9 and 13) from Strawberry Towers Publishing.Lex Fraser titles currently available on Kindle - Novels:The Van Helsing Fang ClubThe Adventure of the Missing DivaShort Stories/Novellas/Novelettes:Jeepers Keepers!The Phantom PupilAbout the Author:In Civvy Street, Lex Fraser is a partner in a small recruitment company, but writes to keep the chaps with the oversize butterfly nets from the front door.
