Seeing Red

Battling problems at home, Amelia risks her spot on the football squad when she lashes out at her teammates in this sensitively told sports tale from acclaimed author Eve Ainsworth.

Amelia is having a really difficult time at home. Her dad has recently moved out and her mum isn't coping at all. Where football used to be a way to escape when her parents were arguing, now it just seems to be another source of stress when she's late for practice and finds it hard to concentrate during important matches.

Her Lightmoor Lionesses coach and team-mates are all worried about Amelia, but it's difficult to help her when she lashes out in anger. Can Amelia find a way to get the support she needs before her temper alienates everyone around her?
