The perfect book for the kid who wants to be a professional footballer when they grow up.

Ollie Volley has ONE dream: to play for Puddleford United.

When Ollie’s school football (soccer) team is invited to the biggest youth tournament in the area, he knows this could be his big chance. Rumour has it a real talent scout will be watching—and Ollie is determined to prove he has what it takes.

But with a rival striker stealing the spotlight, a mysterious man lurking on the sidelines, and a best friend who can’t stop chatting to the goalposts, everything starts to unravel. With just one weekend to shine, can Ollie score when it matters most?

Packed with action, humour, and heart, Ollie Volley is an exciting kids football book about chasing your dreams, teamwork, and believing in yourself—even under pressure.

A fun and inspiring chapter book for kids who dream of becoming professional footballers
