A brilliant dyslexic-friendly book that is also perfect as a quick read for confident readers.

Bobby Bains loves football.  He dreams about it, he plays it at school, on the weekends and is even trying to get his grandfather to play football! Bobby lives with his mum and her dad, his Nana-ji, because Bobby’s dad left when he was a baby. Bobby is a Sikh, and his religion teaches him to be kind, and he is a really kind person. His mum works for the community food bank, where Bobby notices a lonely pensioner called Trevor. When the pensioner turns up at Bobby’s football match, he gets an idea to get Trevor and Nana-ji to become friends.

I think lots of children will be pleased to see this book. ‘Bobby Bains plays a blinder’ is a heartwarming read about community, friendship and kindness.
