The Team From Windmill Lane - The Finn Silver Series - E-book - ePub

A young boy tries to start his own team, win the league ... and save football - All in one unforgettable season. Finn is a well-mannered, 13 year-old lad who loves football. So much so he decides to start his own team. Gifted the use of the local farmer's field (and its adjacent, disused windmill), he recruits his squad and builds a ground suitable to play in the Westerly Under-15 League. Things are going well until Finn starts seeing a mysterious old man wearing an old-fashioned red tracksuit, carrying an ancient leather football.
Who is he? What and where is the mystical 'Hall of Fame'? And why are they both so important to the world of football? Before Finn can tighten his boots he's thrown headlong into a sinister plot that could threaten the future of football forever. Follow the team's fortunes, taste the excitement of their best games, wonder at their hilarious training methods, and fret over Finn's setbacks as dark powers threaten to thwart his team's progress.
Hooded kidnappers, haunted turnstiles, players dressed as birds and scarecrows, the ancient art of Scribnibbling and the world famous striking partnership of Cheece and Onion, all combine to make The Team From Windmill Lane a footballing adventure to remember, and the beginning of a formidable new series.
