'This is a highly imaginative retelling of Shakespeare's Macbeth.'_______________________________>Dared to visit a fortune teller by Banksie's sister and her friends, the two boys are shaken by the prophesy that both of them will be captain. It's totally impossible, of course, because Duncan King, the star striker, is always captain. One dark autumn evening, however, Duncan has an accident. Or so everyone believes... But things aren't always what they seem. Football, Shakespeare and horror.A classic tale enjoyed by adults and young readers alike.

Imagine being a talented footballer - yet never being allowed to play?No football - ever. That's the law as laid down by Flint's bad-tempered, bullying father: a man with a dodgy back and an even dodgier means of earning a living - as a petty thief. But nothing can keep Flint from playing football for long. And when he is offered a place in a local team, suddenly Dad no longer seems to mind! Flint's over the moon - until he realizes what Dad's real motives are...A tough, hard-hitting and action-packed football tale.From the author of BROOKSIE.

When Flint moves out of the children's home, he gets foster parents and the longed-for chance to try out for top local team Welbeck FC. His foster-father is the coach. But Aldo, the chairman's son, hates Flint and wants him out - especially when he sees how many goals he can score. And what Aldo wants, Aldo gets. Flint thirsts for revenge... and when a Sudden Death tournament is announced he decides to fight back. He'll round up his old mates - other kids written off as losers in life, just like him - and they'll smash Welbeck.A sequel to the successful FLINT, already available in Corgi Yearling Books, but the book can easily be read as a one-off.
