Wasim and the Champ
Illustrated by Kate Pankhurst
This is the fourth story about football mad Wasim, his family and friends. Here racial tensions threaten to ruin the local football competition when the teams become split between white and Asian boys. Wasim learns from others about ‘them and us’ situations and helps, with the aid of a surprise star celebrity, to diffuse the situation and focus the attention once again on football. There is enough football content to maintain the interest of sports fans whilst dealing with racial tensions, bullying and friends taking sides against each other.
