Recensioner i media

"Packed with plenty of detailed football match action … a well told story that encourages empathy for refugees" – The Letterpress Project"Home Ground will engage those wanting a story about ‘the beautiful game’ but, more than that, is a story of friendship and overcoming prejudice. This is a great book to introduce the importance of being tolerant and accepting others, irrespective of where they’re from." – Books for Topics"A short, but necessary, story … It’s got football at its heart, and would appeal to all football fans out there. And the other thing that matters is friendship. Fairness. Understanding that not everyone is the same, but that we are equal in our own way, and that we all matter … I hope this book will both entertain and inform, and change" – Book Witch"An important message about sport and the way it can bring together people from different communities, helping them to integrate" – Parents in Touch
