Books in Bobby and Charlton Stories series

This is the second story to feature Bobby, the Down's Syndrome football enthusiast, and his big sister Charlie. This time they are off to summer camp. Also with them is Paul, a boy who hides underneath a furry parka and will not speak. Bobby instantly decides that the two of them are best friends, and as he is potty about football, he tries to play it with him as much as possible. Charlie is being a responsible older sister and keeping a watch on Bobby, which is demanding enough, but she also has a challenge of her own. One of the planned camp activities is a relay race over water, and she is very scared of water. But thanks to the wonderful positivity that Bobby exudes all round him, Charlie beats her demons, Bobby plays football whether it's planned or not, and Paul? Well, Bobby gets him talking! He makes him Man of the Match!

A new story about this football-mad family and their special needs son. Charlie has a football mad family—her mother gives a yellow card rather than a ticking off, because you can't argue with the referee, can you? Usually the family make a great team, so when her 13-year-old brother Semi starts to get grumpy and choses not to join in, it is a great shock. Well, it's a great shock for Charlie and little brother Bobby. But her parents seem to know exactly what is going on. It takes a while for Charlie to realize that it's the onset of teenagerdom, and all to be expected—and even better, Semi will get over it!

Charlie and her brothers are in the final of the local five-a-side tournament, and they need to practise hard. But when it snows heavily overnight, their plans soon change. Charlie’s brother, Bobby, is marooned in the snow and she must attempt a daring adventure to rescue him. But with the team reunited once more, how will they manage to play on the frozen pitch, never mind win the game?
