When I was given Up For The Cup by Simon Bartram by
the lovely people from the Mumsnet Book Club, I was over the moon. Hoorah, my first book club
review. I eagerly awaited Joe to come home from School to read the book with
me. But as soon as he saw the book, which I was sure he would love. He stated,
" It's not really my type of book, " I am sorry, I just don't get
this. I love reading and would read almost any book. The problem is he likes
football but is not a die-hard fan.
Then I realised what I needed was a die-hard footy
fan, who would love the book rather than forcing Joe to read it. So I enlisted
Finlay the footy mad fan, he lives and breathes football I realised he was the
perfect choice for this mission.
