Danny loves Chadmouth Town Football Club more than anything, but a run of defeats and terrible luck has left them bottom of the table and looking certain to be relegated with time running out.

But then, Danny and his best friend Nelson stumble across a bizarre pre-match ritual that seems to turn their luck around, and his beloved team starts winning again. Is it too little too late though, and can he keep doing everything right before each match, even when he starts finding more and more obstacles in his way and despite the relentless teasing from his classmates? It's going to come down to the wire.

Does Danny have what it takes to save Chadmouth's season?

Danny Mann Super Fan is the perfect book for young football / soccer fans (including reluctant readers), and for anyone who's enjoyed the Charlie Fry or Jamie Johnson series and Tom Palmer's football books.
