(Martin Smith Books Nov. 15, 2018)
Charlie Fry is the footballer that never misses.
The Football Boy Wonder, who cannot run far because of cystic fibrosis, is a marked man but, thanks to the magic target floating around inside his mind, he still scores goals for fun.
And there is one last game to play in this season of glory - against the mums and dads - with the promise of Premier League tickets for the winners.
But with soaring summer temperatures and a professional man-marker facing him, can Charlie Fry inspire his Magpies team to a final win of an unforgettable season?
Praise for the Charlie Fry Series:
"It's a super heart-warming read, totally recommend."
"The Football Boy Wonder is an outstanding book for football fans by Martin Smith."
"Just the ticket for children who love the loyalty/bullying theme, bravery, football, struggling against the odds and a good dose of mystery and achievement."
Martin Smith wrote the Charlie Fry Series to raise awareness about cystic fibrosis, a condition he has himself.
The five-book series - The Football Boy Wonder, The Demon Football Manager, The Magic Football Book, The Football Spy, and The Football Superstar - have been bestsellers since its launch on Amazon in 2014, and are perfect for kids who love Jamie Johnson and David Walliams's books.
