Edge: Monsters Like Us - Football Frightmare by Steve Barlow (author) and Steve Skidmore (author)

Monsters Like Us follows the adventures of monster misfits Danny (a demon), Lin (a werewolf) and Sam (a zombie) as they attempt to get through school without eating the teachers, running wild or raising hell.

Lin is determined to make Danny and Sam exercise more, so she signs them up to her five-a-side football team. It’s only when they go to play their first game that they realise the opposition team is led by class bully, Clogger Mills.

Each Monsters Like Us story features an accessible storyline in a familiar setting, and is ideal for guided reading with struggling readers, as confidence-building independent reads, and for EAL pupils. Call of the Wild is levelled at book band 8 Purple, is printed on off-white paper and uses a font approved by the British Dyslexia Association. This title is published by Franklin Watts EDGE, which produces a range of books to get children reading with confidence. EDGE – for books kids can’t put down.
