"My name's Lucy Skidmore and I love football. But my brother Harry has been awful since our parents split up -- and now he's even getting in the way of football practice..." The under eleven girls' football league is well underway and Lucy Skidmore is her team's best defender. But since her parents' divorce, her brother Harry has been acting out.

Lucy tries to make up for his moodiness by being perfectly well-behaved; but with her dad living miles away, her mum at the end of her tether and a sulky brother to contend with, she's feeling the pressure.
