Jess Bhamra, a British Asian teenager living in West London, lives for football: to the consternation of her conventional family. She has to do battle with the 'girlie' jibes of her sister and cousins as well as the sexist quips of the boys she plays football with - until a chance meeting leads her to join a women's team and her struggle to negotiate between two cultures becomes more complicated. This is a funny, fast-paced novel, with an engaging, inspirational heroine.
