Even people who don’t much like football will love this book, and if you are a fan of the beautiful game it will provide hours of fun. The authors, creators of the excellent Football School series, have come up with 300 questions to test your knowledge of football, and none of them are boring stats. There are questions on football around the world, on great goals and great goalkeepers, on record breakers, coaches, even mascots and injuries. A multiple choice format gives everyone a chance of getting it right, but lots of the answers will really surprise you. Lively cartoon illustrations by Spike Gerrell add to the fun. ~

Football School: The Amazing Quiz Book Synopsis
CILIP CARNEGIE Medal SHORTLIST 2010: Judges’ comments
A visceral and compelling story of incredible power which combines some fantastic writing with intelligent consideration of some important issues: the nature of war, terrorism and the treatment of women. A challenging novel which really lives inside your head.
We were in the square, in the square where I'd run, holding her, carrying her, telling her to stay alive, stay alive till we got safe, till we got to Haven so I could save her - But there weren't no safety, no safety at all, there was just him and his men. Fleeing before a relentless army, Todd has carried a desperately wounded Viola right into the hands of their worst enemy, Mayor Prentiss. Immediately separated from Viola and imprisoned, Todd is forced t learn the ways of the Mayor's new order. But what secrets are hiding just outside of town? And where is Viola? Is she even still alive? And who are the mysterious Answer? And then, one day, the bombs begin to explode. The Ask and the Answer is a tense, shocking and deeply moving novel of resistance under the most extreme pressure. This is the second book in the Chaos Walking trilogy.
