“Javier Felix,” my dad said. “I came to pick you up from practice, but you’d already left.”

“Well, obviously.”

“What do you mean, ‘obviously’?”

“Because I quit football.”

“Again?” Dad sighed.

After quitting football (again), Javi’s boots don’t hang on the hook for long. His illustrious career towards football stardom shall continue in the brand new FC Donut, whose founding members are Javi’s best friends Nut and Donnie.

Soon it appears that the club and its players have ambitions far bigger than its budget. And it irks Javi to no end that his little sister Dot seems to be one of their team’s most talented footballers.

The first book in a fast-paced and hilarious illustrated football series for young football enthusiasts!
