Lovely story of a child wanting to be included and be seen like everyone else - it can really teach children to be more inclusive and that people who look different can often do the same things as us. This book is written in a nicely simple way, which can be easily accessed by young readers, sharing a good message while also helping them develop their fluency and comprehension.

Naive to some extent, this very young reader is ample fun for a football fan to read in a quick spell. It's about Jack, who has tormented the garden flowers enough for one summer, and so gets taken to the park with his father. They have a kickabout, and then relax, but when someone suddenly (how??) guesses Jack knows a trick with the football, he gets filmed for the internet, and before you can say "half-time orange" is a global star. This is both despite and because Jack is a "one-legged kid [although that] isn't what he called himself". So yes this is also an early lesson in acceptance of different abilities, and a starter for a debate about instant online fame. Sure, it's too instant here to be at all realistic, but this is not at all objectionable (even when repeating the same gag about online names). Nicely structured story arc and decent art combine for a four-star success.
