Little Gems – The Unlucky Eleven

Standley is a great team leader

It is a very good book because the 11 didn't give up. I loved it all. I would absolutely tell someone else to read it.

My favourite bit was when the unlucky eleven won the first game of the season

I liked the story and it was easy but fun to read. I would recommend this book to anyone that likes football.

It was funny and made me want to keep reading. I would recommend this to anyone 7 years and older.

Funny, easy to read book that would convince even the most hesitant of readers to give it a bash! I really enjoyed it!

I liked the book because The Unlucky Eleven were unlucky at first and then they got better. My favourite character was Aiden because he was silly and shoved garlic up his socks.

I liked the story about football. It was funny.

I like this book because I like football and jokes and this has both.

It was fun in parts I like football. It was a long match.

This was a great book as I love football. I took one star off as I didn’t like their kit.

Fiction it was in tresting

This book is about a boy called Stanley who is a unlucky eleven from saints football club.

The character who I liked is Hettie who is a girl from saints football club

yes I would recommend this book to someone else

My favourite person was the girl who tried to wear her kit backwards. It was a good book because it was funny.

Cool little book. Funny, fast-moving, football-centred shenanigans with the Saints and the curse of the kit!! A great Little Gems book. I’ve previously only read Phil Earl’s writing for older children- ‘When the Sky Falls’. I might try and get hold of some of his other Little Gems. I see he’s written another Barrington Stoke, football-themed book - Edgar and Adolf. Wish it was easier to read books and then decide whether or not to buy them for the Library 📚

It was funny and made me think of my own football team when we had a borrowed kit and lost every game

i like football

They were lucky because they scored two goals because they thought differently.

It was about a football team that had a unlucky kit.
I liked reading it because I like football.
I think my friends should read it.

For half a term they didn't win but then trained and they won in the second half term.

My favourite character was Stanley. He is a good team player and the team won the final game.

My favourite character was Stanley because he fully believed that his team would win, and it’s important to have very supportive and positive people in a team.

I would recommend this book to my friend. My favourite character was Stanley, the main character, who scored the last goal. My favourite part was when he scored the last minute goal!

My favourite character was Stanley, because he was the boss. It was a funny story.

I liked this book because I love football.

Stanley was my favourite character because he tricked his teammates.
