More about the book

Banksie and Mac live for football. Determined to get picked by the coach, they've spent the summer working on their fitness and skills. And now, with the start of a new school year, the days drawing in and the weather getting harsher, they're about to be put to the test. 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 page-turning classic.
