Book Description
It’s Cup Final day: the Bog City Dribblers versus the Left Legged
Lurchers and Caraway can’t wait to go. But she hasn’t got a
ticket, her dad hasn’t got a penny and there’s Primrose, her
baby sister, to look after. How is she going to get to the match?
Synopsis
Football-mad Caraway is desperate to get to the Cup Final. Despite flooding
her house and twisting her ankle, she ingeniously gets money for a ticket
only to find that they’re all sold out. With the help of Primrose
she eventually makes it in spectacular style – but not in a way that
anyone could imagine!
Reviews
“A lovely fantasy with a just and happy ending, just right for 6-8
year old children who are looking for an amusing story with a well defined
hero(ine) and ‘baddy’. The bright cover and size of the book
should make it appealing to young readers and the story, attractive to both
boys and girls. I would certainly recommend it to both.”
Pat Almond: Armadillo
“An engaging and spirited junior novel.”
Lindsey Fraser: Scottish Sunday Herald
Readers may
be interested to know that the book was illustrated by Eileen’s partner,
John Williams. Baby Primrose was really their baby, Milo. When Milo was
16, he designed the cover of the Back-to-Front edition. It’s a family
affair!
