    About this ebook

    Will is football mad, but he's the shortest boy in the year, and one of the slowest. He knows his skills at passing and ball control could make up for his lack of size and strength, but the team coach is only interested in speed and strength. Will Will ever get a chance to show what he can do?

    Highly readable, exciting books that take the struggle out of reading, Wired encourages and supports reading practice by providing gripping, age-appropriate stories for struggling and reluctant readers or those with English as an additional language aged 11+, at a manageable length (64 pages) and reading level (8+). Produced in association with reading experts at CatchUp, a charity which aims to address underachievement caused by literacy and numeracy difficulties.

      Steve nodded, and huddled into his coat. The rain was freezing cold. Steve didn’t know why Will watched every game the school team played. After all, Will hadn’t been picked for a team since junior school. But he was always there on the touch line.

      The ball flew into the Ravenshill penalty area. The keeper punched it out, but only as far as the edge of the box.

      A player from the other team got to the ball and fired a low hard shot at goal that ended up in the corner of the net.

      A ragged cheer came up from the away fans. The ref blew a long blast on his whistle, and the game
