About this ebook

Marcus Atkinson is a soccer star (not!). But his dad is convinced that Marcus has magic in his feet.

Marcus is a Maths whiz who is not good at sport. His dad is a self-help author who thinks Marcus can achieve anything he sets his mind to, with hilarious results. In illustrated diary format, Marcus's gentle, satiric humour and comic drawings will have readers laughing out loud while learning a surprising amount about soccer.

Ratings and reviews

This book looks good. But its really short and makes no sense at all. It would be nice if it was longer and had a lot more sense put into it. Not very good if your 9 or over. Its more like for early readers.

This book is good but don't buy it coz its very short and I finished it in 20 mins

Needs to be longer good for young chapter readers
