‘I play for North Star Galaxy and this is the story of our first season. I don’t know how it’s going to end – but I hope it will be at the World Cup Finals this summer! I’m going to tell you everything that happens – the truth – however painful that might be.’
Charlie loves football. He watches it, memorizes facts about it, and he’s even the captain of the local youth team, North Star Galaxy.
When Charlie discovers that youth teams are being selected to play in exhibition matches at the World Cup tournament later that year he decides to enter North Star. There’s one problem. He’s got to prove that North Star deserve a place at the tournament and that’s not easy when your team are kind of rubbish at football!
This book takes the form of Charlie’s competition entry for his team to play a warm-up match at the World Cup – it’s crammed with hilarious doodles, true facts, and match reports, and is totally accessible for boys, girls, reluctant readers, and footie-mad kids everywhere!

it was really interesting and funny
Pretty good
All about football
I thought that this book was exceedingly exciting and jam-packed with action and humour.
My favourite character was Jas, because she’s very supportive and positive.
I would recommend ‘Charlie Merrick’s Misfits’ to anyone interested in fouls, friends and football :)
A very funny book by a very good writer
The book was very funny and the writer is very good
if you like football you must read this book , there is a lot of fun inside the story and most important things is you would learner and understand the advantage of team work rather than individual skill. for more information go and read it.
Simon Getahun,
I really liked this book! Even though it's about football it's still really good. (I absolutely HATE football but I loved this book) it is really entertaining and I couldn't put it down. The author (Dave Cousins) actually came to our school a few weeks ago. He is really funny!
