The Kick Off by Dan Freedman
 

I kind of liked Kick Off. It was more a boys’ book than a girls’ book . It was good but pretty boring. I feel sorry for Jamie because his own mum and teacher and his best mate weren't on his side.



Anna, Dornoch Primary


I liked the book because it was about football and I enjoy playing football , but I wouldn't recommend it to girls. It is more of a boys’ book because the main character was a boy and it wasn't as good as the other books. It was a good book but not the best I read. I don't have a favourite part because it's hard to choose but I enjoyed the book. But it is more of a boys’ book than girls’.



Stephanie, Dornoch Primary


Even though I'm not football mad I'm still quite a fan of it. I think if you didn't like football, you wouldn't like this book. I personally LOVED the book. Everything felt so real. You feel scared when Jamie is scared and you can imagine how angry he felt when things went wrong too. This book is BRILLIANT! I would recommend this book to anyone who even slightly likes football. Almost every person in my class who read the book liked it.



Caitlin, Lybster Primary


I liked this book because it gives you information on how to play football.



Liam, Wick North


It was simply the best book I ever read. I’M FOOTBALL CRAZY! 11 out of 10!



Jonathan, Lybster Primary


It was a most enjoyable read and my fave book about football. I'm football crazy I would give it 385,000 million stars!



A L, Lybster Primary


It was the best book of all the books in the world.



Melanie, Lybster Primary


I give this book 5000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 x 1 million stars because it is wicked and it is funny when Jamie Johnson missed the penalty.



RC, Lybster Primary


I thought my brother would like it because it was more set for boys and thought if I was a boy I would enjoy it but since I am a girl personally I didn't enjoy it. The thing I did like about it was the football players comments on the front.



Ruth, Hilton of Cadboll Primary


I really enjoyed this book. I've read a lot of football books and this one was the best. If you don't know anything about football you will not understand this book at all.



Connor, Kinlochbervie Primary


With a believable storyline and lifelike characters, this book is a very enjoyable read. My favourite character was Jack as she loves football and has very helpful tips for her best friend Jamie. Although this book is fun to read, you'd have to know quite a bit about football as some of the book has slightly complicated “football talk”.



R.M, Dochgarroch Primary


I liked the part where Jamie missed his penalty.



James, Wick North Primary


At first I thought I would not like this book because I am not interested in football but it was actually one of the best books I’ve ever read.



Sky, Hilton of Cadboll Primary


I think everything in the story was believable.  I liked the phrase, "if you don't have enough money I wouldn't mind giving you a couple of pennies to buy some clearasil".  I enjoyed the story but I think you would really enjoy the story if you were into football.



Alison, Dochgarroch Primary


This book is fantastic. Everyone will enjoy it because it is funny and it is one of those books you cannot bear to close. My favourite character is Jack because she is friendly and is short tempered like me! I'm not a football fan but I enjoyed it.



Isabella, Dochgarroch Primary


Jamie Johnson, at the start of the book, doesn't think he is good enough to get into Kingwood football team. He doesn't like the hard work it takes or the toughness to do it. As I like football too I thought he was very believable. I would give this a ten star rating if I could. I cannot wait for the next book to come out.



JB, Dochgarroch Primary


I like the characters especially Jack. I also thought the places were really real. It wasn't too short or too long. I thought it was quite boyish though.



Holly, Grantown Primary


I liked the book. It was very real and I liked the characters especially Jamie. The book is probably more for boys. It was good how he got his own back.. A good book.



Kate, Grantown Primary
