The Secret Football Club (Pocket Money Puffin)

James, Lily and friends have had some bad news - football is now banned at their school. But they all love football! So if they're not allowed to kick a ball the playground, they'll have to find another way to play - in secret . . .

Tom Palmer is a football fan and author. He writes two series for Puffin: Football Academy and Football Detective. He visits schools and libraries every week to talk about reading, writing and football. 
It was reading about football that helped Tom to become a confident reader. He now has the job of his dreams: travelling the world to watch football matches, meeting players, then writing stories about them. 
He lives in Yorkshire where he likes to be with his family, watch football and eat Dubble bars.
