Taking a Stand

di Alan Durant (Autore)

Badger Publishing, 2022

The Cathay Cup final is fast approaching. There's a lot riding on this game for Academy hopeful Jackson. This is his chance to show his talent. But Jackson can't stop thinking about the racist abuse he's had from a teammate. He would rather ignore it and pretend it never happened, but deep down, he knows what he has to do. It's time to take a stand. An aspirational series that follows two footballers, Callum and Jackson, throught their first prestigious international pre-season tournament. It features relatable teen characters from a variety of social and cultural backgrounds and is set in the highly pressurised world of professional football. Perfect for readers who love an action-driven plot as well as committed football fans, these books have plenty of drama happening both and off the pitch. The titles in this series of Hi-Lo books for students aged between 10 and 16 years include books for reading ages 9–10 years and utilise a range of dyslexia-friendly features to support pupils' reading.  Making the Team are printed on off-white paper and incorporate an easy-to-read font and text separated into bite-sized chunks, along with carefully considered letter and paragraph spacing that can reduce visual stress. While these books have instantly appealing characters and gripping storylines, the language and sentence structure are intentionally written so that students who are reading behind their chronological age can succeed in reading them.
