If, like me, you love your football, or any kind of sport you'll love the Unbeatables series of books. Kick Off was such a refreshing read and was filled with lots of fun. You could really identify with Tyra's character and I felt so sorry for her as she struggled to make friends with her school friends. And every one has a girl in their class like Alicia!

i love it!
Nobody likes football more than me. There are these boys in my class called Charlie and daniel and they love football but i love it more than them. I think its a faboulse book for people how like football like me because its all based on football. I also felt a bit sad at one point. Please read it because its a really fun and interesting book
