Download or read book Western Wildcats Suck written by John Larkin and published by Lothian Children's Books. This book was released on 2012-04-01 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Western Wildcats are in trouble. About the only good thing you could say for their goalkeeper, Smokin (so called because he?s never without a Chupa Chup in his mouth!), is that he?s got a newish pair of gloves. He keeps taking off for the toilet or he?ll go to the canteen or home?right in the middle of a game! But he?s got a lot on his mind, what with his father building a blue and yellow (Go the Eels!) Chinese junk in their backyard and planning to sail off down the local creek and head for Hawaii. So do they really expect Smokin to keep for the entire game? Of course he?s not the only problem: some of Throw-in?s clearances are adding to the rings around Saturn, and Own-goal keeps scoring hat-tricks for the opposing team. Brazilian methods don?t seem to be working so far, but their coach is still trying. Is it any wonder, though, that people are saying the Western Wildcats suck?

Up in the air, though, Splinters and Nuke are on their way to London to retrieve their best player, Gazza, who?s been deported back to England with her mum, and the two boys get up to the sort of in-flight antics that have made travelling footballers notorious. Grappling as always with the problem of how to make up the numbers, someone remembers a genius footballer called Armitage Shanks who registered for the Under 6s, but never turned up for training or played a single game. Then the obvious question: how do you know he was a genius? And (to Splinters) the equally obvious answer: he had great boots! But when Armitage Shanks turns up, it?s a bigger surprise than the Wildcats have bargained for. A crazy adventure with an unexpectedly moving conclusion, this is one of John Larkin?s funniest books in the series - but it also offers a little insight into success and fame.
