Goal! 2

Description

The dream builds in this tie-in novelization to the second movie in this fantastic trilogy of movies from Buena Vista International Santiago has made his mark in the UK Premier league as a magic midfielder with Newcastle United. But European football now beckons and he finds himself playing alongside stars such as Beckham, Raul and Zidane for Real Madrid. But playing in the UEFA Champions League can bring new pressures - new challenges- fighting to keep his place in the squad, trying to resist the temptations surrounding a successful footballer, aiming to maintain his relationship with his girlfriend back home. Sometimes dreams can turn sour . . .

As well as writing the novelization for the first GOAL! movie, ROBERT RIGBY is also the co-writer of the BOY SOLDIER series with Andy McNab. A professional screenwriter whose work includes scripts for Byker Grove, he has also run literacy, drama and writing projects, doing outreach work in Education Action Zone schools and writing and staging drama for and with young people. He is particularly interested in writing that appeals to reluctant boy readers. Most importantly, he is also a very keen football fan.

Follow-up to last summer's fantastically successful football adventure. Profile should be even higher this year -- Becky Stradwick, Borders * Publishing News *
