We are giving away a set of ten copies of Kick by Mitch Johnson (Usborne Books) to a school book group, in return for some reviews for ReadingZone. Kick, which is aimed at readers aged 11+, will publish in September.

Author Mitch Johnson was inspired to write the novel while working in a sports shop where he discovered a discarded, crumpled drinks sachet left in a shoebox between a brand-new pair of football boots.

A story about dreaming big, about hope and heroes, and never letting anything stand in your way...
