Synopsis

Cup Winners

There are 11 positions on a football pitch, and this book contains 11 recounts of clashes in FA Cup matches, both finals and fixtures along the way. Martin Waddell has skilfully woven together his 'dream team' of 11 players in each match described. The book is full of real action shots, and
photo-realistic artwork that supports the text. Martin asks the reader to imagine their own dream team, and even confides by way of an early photograph that he himself was playing at semi-professional level in his youth.
This title will really appeal to boys, in particular, who struggle to engage with a text through lack of interest or reading difficulty, but it has cross-gender appeal for girls too, who are interested in the beautiful game.

Year 4 title supporting the basic need for different text-types (non-fiction) reading in NLS. TreeTops now branching out into non-fiction, with the same high-quality that the fiction strands enjoy. These books contain full introduction and story background sections, narrative 'faction' text and
full supporting contents, index and glossary.
