All Hoof the Unicorn wants to do is be part of a football team but his club never appreciated his talents and kicked him out. Then he spots an advert for BAD UNITED and he feels a tingling in his hooves. A chance to be part of a team again! A chance to play the game he loves! And a chance to show off his skills...
Hoof is thrilled to find his new teammates are more than up for the challenge. Led by enthusiastic mermaid coach Serena Winmer, the team consists of: Bones, their skeleton captain who sometimes struggles to keep her head; Rex, the ROARsome dinosaur defender; cheetah striker Bolt brings the thunder; Tinkerball dazzles with her magic fairy moves and Annette guards the goal with her life (and eight spider legs). All deemed "not good enough" to play for their teams (who decides what's "good" anyway?!), BAD UNITED combine strength, skill, speed and stench to show everyone what they've got...
The first book in a super and silly graphic novel series, perfect for fans of THE BAD GUYS and THE NOTHING TO SEE HERE HOTEL.
PRAISE FOR BAD UNITED: JUST FOR KICKS:
"This funny, text-light story has an uplifting message about inclusivity and how loving a sport is more important than being the best" - Bookseller
"Breathless fun, lots of on-pitch shenanigans and uplifting, inspirational messages about inclusivity make this super-silly action series the perfect choice for your own all-action mischief makers!" - Lancashire Post
"With themes of inclusivity, sportsmanship, resilience and acceptance, this graphic novel will appeal to less confident readers. Teachers - if your class likes football it behooves you to read this aloud!" - School Reading List
"Mayhem and chaos abound in this comic-style story, aimed at reluctant readers, sporty kids and fantasy fans who will all find common ground in this madcap short read." - Irish Examiner
