A young boy’s relationship with his struggling dad is strained when he is forced to choose between playing football and quality time in this sensitively told story from award-winning writer Tony Bradman. Daniel had a hard time when his parents split up and his dad started working abroad. He had to move and start at a new school, but things changed for the better when he started playing football for the Haybrook Rockets. This season the team are in with a chance of winning the Championship, but just as things are looking up for Daniel his dad comes back and the only time he can meet up is a Saturday morning – when Daniel plays football. He doesn’t want to let his dad or his team down, so what is Daniel going to do? Bradman's When Saturday Comes is a touching portrayal of a young boy's struggle to balance his family obligations and his love for football. The narrative, rich with themes of divorce, teenage angst, and the healing power of sports and friendship, offers a compelling read for young adults. For fans of Katherine Rundell (Rooftoppers), Dick King-Smith (Martin's Mice), Andy Griffiths (The 78-Storey Treehouse), Gerald Mcdermott (Coyote), and Nick Sharratt (Oh No! Shark in the Snow!).
