Scrum!

Steven is in a quandary. He is a talented rugby league player who lives half the time with his father and half with his mother (plus her boyfriend). When he discovers that he is to move down south, he is faced with an additional dilemma because rugby union is played there rather than rugby league. What is he to do? And where do his loyalties lie? How will he resolve this seeming impasse? Boys in particular will enjoy this story of sport laced with family problems that they too may well encounter. There is much in the book that is ripe for discussion – and the spacing and layout of text along with careful use of language mean that readers who have trouble decoding texts will be helped a lot without necessarily realising it. For 8 -10 year olds or older if used for pupils with special needs.
