Synopsis
This is the story of two friends, Jack and Harry, both keen footballers, both recruited for the army and sent to fight in the trenches in the First World War. Award-winning author, James Riordan, brings to life the fear and horrors that both English and German soldiers went through as they fought each other in the trenches. The book ends with a moving account of the football match played in the 'Christmas truce' of 1914.

Review
'This is a necessary, powerful, outspoken but ultimately healing book, something all young people born into more fortunate generations should read.' (The School Librarian)
'A moving story which fully captures the horrors of war. One of the best children's or teen books to tackle a difficult topic.' (The Bookbag)
This is a moving account of the reality of war and the terrible personal cost to a 17-year old recruit. (Pat Walsh, Historical Novel Review)
James Riordan was one of our most powerful writers of war stories... All secondary schools should take the opportunity to re-stock this important title. (Kathryn Tyson, The School Librarian Magazine)
This is compelling, revealing reading. (Caroline Franklin, Newbury Weekly News)
Beautifully written by an accomplished storyteller... (Paul Dowswell, Carousel: The Guide to Children's Books)
