Download or read book Lucy Zeezou s Glamour Game written by Liz Deep-Jones and published by Random House Australia. This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lucy might have scored herself a place at a top football academy - but only if real life doesn't get in the way. Lucy's finally come clean to her parents about her football dreams, but her elation is short-lived. Her football legend father, Paolo, isn't doing anything to quash rumours that he has a secret son from a past relationship. Is it game-over for Lucy's parents? As if that's not enough, Lucy's best friend Bella is jealous that Lucy is spending so much time with her team mate, Max. It looks like Bella's made friends with the school bully - and Lucy's on-pitch rival - as revenge. There's a reason Lucy is hanging out with Max. He's finally found a loving home with his uncle, but is struggling to adjust to family life. Can Lucy help Max find a place in the football world - and avoid going back to the streets? With all her worry about Max's chances, Lucy is neglecting to look out for her own. She might have messed up her trial for the state team, and she hasn't heard back from the football academy yet either. Her ex-model mother Frida might just have something to do with that. Frida's organised a new shoot in Milan for the Love Lucy brand. She says she wants them to get away from all their worries. A fantasy fashion shoot in the Piazza del Duomo is certainly a distraction - especially when friends and family arrive unexpectedly.

Download or read book Football in Fiction written by Lee McGowan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-09-26 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Football in Fiction represents the most comprehensive historical mapping and analysis of novels related to association football (soccer). It offers a theoretically informed field guide, a scholarly cartography of football fiction’s uncertain – and until now – only partially explored terrain. Combining an extensive search for texts with up-to-date academic research, journals, surveys, catalogues, and reviews the book demonstrates a topographic perspective of the field – one that captures and establishes its breadth, depth, and distinctive identity. The book uses and adapts two distinct reading models of abstraction, in conjunction with closer textual analyses. Together they assist in realising a set of demonstrable conventions, outline a taxonomy of fictive types, establish the genre’s current state of play, and advance the football novel as a form with its own literary history and traditions. This book is a valuable resource for those studying and researching in the areas of the social and cultural aspects of football, sports fiction, sports writing, creative writing, and literary and genre studies. Furthermore, related industry professionals will find this a fascinating read, particularly football writers, fans of the sport, and those interested in sports history and cultural phenomena.
