The Striker

There's a new kid at Jasper's school. Aamir can't speak English, but he knows a few tricks on the soccer field, and he's soon invited to join the Rovers. The problem is, Eastville Kings player Badger Mackenzie can't resist doing what he does best - badgering his opponent to put them off their game. This time his target is Aamir. Someone will be sent off the field with a red card - but who will it be? And will it affect the Rovers' dream of playing in the finals?
