Nowhere to Train – Sam’s Football Stories, Book 5 (Set B)

Description

Sam’s Football Stories are specially written to stimulate and motivate your slower learners and reluctant readers. Written by Sheila Blackburn, an experienced primary school teacher, the books will appeal particularly to reluctant boy readers. The six compelling stories in Set B continue the story of Sam, the football crazy boy, started in Set A.

In Nowhere to Train there is bad news for Eddie, Sam and all the others: the Scoutsʼ field has been sold. From next month, they will have nowhere to train! The Newton Devils have already won two matches and drawn two in the league. They still have more to play.

What are they going to do? Who will help?

Let your pupils follow Sam and his friends on their journey. Join in the fun and excitement as they suffer injuries, lose their training pitch, enter a league and finally compete in a tournament.
