Jimmy Joseph loves rugby. All he dreams about is one day playing
for his country in a World Cup, or winning a Test series for the
Lions with a last-minute drop-goal. But when he kicks an
up-and-under in the schoolyard and accidentally hits the new head
of PE, Mr Kane, on the head, he makes a powerful enemy. Jimmy and
his best friends - Manu, Scott and Kitty - try to prove their worth
on the rugby field, but to no avail. Mr Kane has it out for them,
and he's being helped by team captain Mike Green, well known as the
school bully. Can Jimmy and his friends overcome the tyranny of Mr
Kane and help Mike see the error of his ways? Or will the
combination of bullying, pressure and dirty tactics derail the
friends' rugby careers before they have even begun? An epic new
rugby series begins here!

"A must read" - Marcus Rashford MBE. A New York Times Bestseller.
From two heavy-hitters in children's literature comes a
biographical novel of seismic cultural importance... Before he was
a household name, Cassius Clay was a kid with struggles like any
other. Kwame Alexander and James Patterson join forces to vividly
depict his life up to age seventeen in both prose and verse,
including his childhood friends, struggles in school, the racism he
faced, and his discovery of boxing. Readers will learn about
Cassius' family and neighbours in Louisville, Kentucky, and how,
after a thief stole his bike, Cassius began training as an amateur
boxer at age twelve. Before long, he won his first Golden Gloves
bout and began his transformation into the unrivalled Muhammad Ali.
Fully authorised by and written in cooperation with the Muhammad
Ali estate, and vividly brought to life by Dawud Anyabwile's
dynamic artwork, Becoming Muhammad Ali captures the budding
charisma and youthful personality of one of the greatest sports
heroes of all time.
