Dyslexia friendly!

When the girls are banned from the five-a-side tournament, young Sikh footballer Bobby Bains rallies his teammates to make a stand in this uplifting story of friendship and fairness from award-winning author Bali Rai.

Bobby Bains lives for football, so when his friend Maisie announces a five-a-side tournament in Wigby, he’s just as excited as she is to get involved. His team, the Wigby FC Juniors, have a real shot at winning—and Maisie even pulls together a girls’ team in time to sign up.

But when the organizers tell the girls they can’t play, Bobby refuses to stay silent. Inspired by the Sikh story of Guru Hargobind, he leads his friends in a stand for equality and inclusion, proving that real teamwork means standing up for what’s right—on and off the field.
