Kick is the game-changing bestselling football adventure about chasing your dreams.

Winner of the Brandford Boase Award
Nominated for the CILIP Carnegie Medal
Shortlisted for over 20 regional book awards

All he can see is the football, waiting for one final kick.
It's now or never.

Budi wants to be a footballer. But instead of wearing the boots, he makes them in a factory and dreams of a better life.

Then one day when he's playing football in the street, an unlucky kick brings his world crashing down. Ordered to steal a pair of boots from the factory, Budi's dreams are on the line, and if he's caught his life will be as well.

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

Praise for Mitch Johnson:

"A fantastically original debut that champions hope, dogged optimism in the face of adversity, and friendship." MG Leonard, author of Adventures on Trains

"A must-read." Tom Palmer, author of Football Academy

"To grow up with stories like these is the beginning of finding another world, lying at our feet." Khalid Abdalla, star of The Kite Runner
