Rob Childs

The big freeze is wrecking the team's soccer season - they haven't played a proper match for two months and the novelty of playing indoors has long worn off. 
 
But then Jamie's father books them in for sessions on the all-weather pitches at the new sports centre, and they find themselves taking part in an exciting triangular tournament. But will Pud be able to keep his feet on the unfamiliar surface? And will the big-headed Carl Diamond keep them out of the Final?

The Big Freeze

It's the beginning of the season and Chris Weston, captain of Danebridge School football team, knows that his team needs goalscorers - players to put the ball in the back of the net. 
 
Two younger boys show promise - nimble Jamie, who can dribble round any opponent, and moody, overweight David (known as Pud), whose cannonball shots are unstoppable. But can Jamie learn to play as part of a team? And can Pud manage to control his temper? When both boys are picked to play for the team in a vital match - the first round of the county cup competition - Chris knows it is up to him, as captain, to help both boys make the most of their big chance...

The Big Chance

'Show United's coaches what you can do!' 
 
Andrew Weston is off for four fabulous days of football - on a special coaching course at United's football ground. It's a terrific opportunity to develop his skills and, hopefully, to impress the talent scouts. 
 
There's just one drawback: an old enemy, Dean, is also on the course. And the tough, no-hold-barred striker has no hesitation in breaking the rules when it suits him - even if it could lead to someone getting hurt . . . 
 
Join Andrew on his big break in this action-packed title in the bestselling football series.

Big Break

Who cares about losing when you're a millionaire?' 
Chris Weston, goalkeeper and school team captain, has problems. With Danebridge too close for comfort to the relegation zone, they're facing two key games in a week - and most of the players seem to have other things on their minds right now. Two million of them. For midfielder Mark Towers has just struck lucky. His family have won the Lottery! Chris would prefer a different kind of big win - on the football pitch. Can they all pull together as a team before it's too late?
