Michael Coleman"]] Character: In this book, there were 3 stories called AWESOME ATTACKING, SUFFERING SUBSTITUTES, and CRAFTY COACHING In AWESOME ATTACKING, the main character is Jonjo. In SUFFERING SUBSTITUTES, the main character is Lionel. In CRAFTY COACHING, the main characters is the ANGELS FC.

Summary of AWESOME ATTACKING: Jonjo was in a football group called Angels. His mom and his sister always came to the match. But, Jonjo didn't want his mom to come because she was really loud and it was really embarassing for Jonjo. His sister came to the match because she just wanted to eat the chocolate and pop. One day, he goes out of his house and pretends to be Mr Bilgrami to make his mom not come to the next match. But then his sister comes along. But then, few days later, a letter really came to say to Jonjo's mom she is not aloud to go to the match anymore. Summary of SUFFERING SUBSTITUTES: Lionel was in a gymnastics club. And Nikki liked him (Lionel thought so). Nikki asks him to be in a football team called Angels FC squad. Lionel got in the team but he wasn't really good. The match that Lionel is in, was going to do a match with a team called Royals FC. Nikki was in that team but Lionel didn't know so he practiced. Then, Lionel realiizes on the day of the match that Nikki was fooling him. They v.s each other. Lionel shoots a goal and his team wins. Summary of CRAFTY COACHING: Trev is the Angels team coach. But Trev's brother is sick so he has to go to his brother's farm and help him. One day, the Angels meet a man called Wally Sly. He was really mean. Then there was a match between the Angels and Wally Sly's team, Villians United. There was one special rule that each of their team can have their mascot play in the team in the second part. Wally Sly's team had Wally Sly in the team which was not unfair and the Angels had a dog, Bob. With Bob in the team, they scored a lot of goals and they win the match!

I would give this book a rate of 9 out of ten because it was really interesting and funny but there were 3 different kinds of stories so sometimes it got mixed up for me.

Character: The main character is Minli. Minli loves to hear stories and go to adventures.
