Eddie loves playing football, but his coach is always criticising him and the rest of the team don't give him any support. What's worse, his older brother, Matthew, is the best player in the school. But when Matthew falls ill, the team need a striker to step in at the last moment. At last, this is Eddie's chance to prove himself. Will he be able to live up to the challenge?

A graphic novel which focuses on Matthew's brother Eddie, who is having problems proving to his coach that he has the necessary skills and physique to play up front. But when Eddie finds himself in a position to demonstrate his courage and skills the coach is not around to watch him.

Carole is left a rather unusual present - a camel called Umberto. It's great to ride him to school and everyone loves him, even if he is rather smelly. But looking after a real camel can cause a lot of problems. Perhaps Carole should find him a more suitable home.
