| Description: |
foosball humour book for young adults |
| Synopsis: |
Shy boy Amadeo reigns supreme at table football in his local cafe. Taking on all comers he is one of the unbeatables with his loyal team of tiny foosballers. But there's another unbeatable in town. Aggrieved by his only ever defeat at the hands of Amadeo in a foosball match when they were kids, Flash the town bully returns to seek revenge. Not only does he destroy the foosball table, but he challenges Amadeo to a game of actual football. Amadeo has never played real football - and Flash, with his insatiable quest for glory, has subsequently risen to become the world's most famous soccer star. With the future of the village at stake and his foosballers scattered, the situation looks hopeless for Amadeo. Unless he can recruit the help of his eccentric fellow villagers and the girl he loves, Lara, to take on the world's best football team captained by his nemesis Flash. And unless the foossballers can be reunited. It ll be like Barcelona against a non-league team with an injury crisis, predicts Lara. What nobody predicts, however, is how Amadeo's foosballers will affect the game...The Unbeatables novel is the ultimate fantasy football story.Expanding upon the original movie, the novel includes additional adventures and characters. Written for young adults (and not so young adults), the book is a scintillating, action-packed 90 minutes of end-to-end incident, comedic flair, goalmouth scrambles and dubious off the ball challenges on the ethos of the modern game.Richard O. Smith is the author of The Man With His Head in the Clouds ("Very, very funny" - Lucy Porter). His other books include Oxford Student Pranks ("A jam-packed jamboree of jollity" - Dr Lucy Worsley), Britain's Most Eccentric Sports ("Better than all 26 days of a cricket match" - Henning Wehn) and Amazon no. 1 bestseller in humour As Thick As Thieves documenting true criminal ineptitude ("Made me think I should have considered a life of crime" - Hugh Dennis). Richard is a Chortle comedy award winner and a former National Football Writer of the Year. He's written for The Independent, The Guardian and football fans' magazine When Saturday Comes. |
