Under Pressure

Each year, City FC - known as 'the Hawks' - take on a group of thirteen-year-olds for the first tier of their special soccer school: training sessions in the evenings and weekends for truly talented players who are aiming to become professional players. It's a real step towards being a real man - and to a glamorous, exciting future for the few who succeed. But the failure rate is also high... UNDER PRESSURE introduces readers to one group, and in particular to Craig, whose dad sees his son's potential as a real money-spinner, and Darren, who is under pressure to succeed.

—— Times Literary Supplement

The seventh of the Arthur Ransome books about the Swallows and the Amazons, and I really think it is the best

—— The Sunday Times

The most exciting of the whole Swallows and Amazon series
