Author:John Murray
Have you ever wondered what it takes to become a tennis star?
This is Andy Murray’s story – from the first time he picked up a tennis racquet, to his Grand Slam win at the US Open.
Did you know that Andy was approached by a major football club? Or that he used to play doubles with Novak Djokovic? Follow the Scot's rise to stardom in this brand-new biography of our tennis ace.
This unputdownable book is a must read for followers of tennis and Andy. I would suggest this book to children between the ages of 10 and 14. I would rate this book a 10/10!
—— Guardian Children's Book Review TeamBob Cattell's tales couldn't be more wholesome if they came with bran and a fireside singsong . . . The books are fast-moving and, as you would expect, genuinely exciting

—— Cork Evening EchoSo what makes these different to any other set of classics? In a moment of inspiration Random House had the bright idea of actually asking Key stage 2 children what extra ingredients they could add to make children want to read. And does it work? Well, put it this way...my 13-year-old daughter announced that she had to read a book over the summer holiday and, without any prompting, spotted The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas...and proceeded to read it! Now, if you knew my 13-year-old daughter, you would realise that this is quite remarkable. She reads texts, blogs and tags by the thousand - but this is the first book she has read since going to high school, so all hail Vintage Classics!
