Description

When England's top scorer invites Sam to his next match, he can't believe it. The problem is, neither do Sam's mates.

Quick Summary

In Sam's Dream, a young boy named Sam receives an incredible invitation from England's top soccer player to attend his next match, but his friends refuse to believe him, leaving Sam to wonder if his dream will ever come true. The book explores themes of friendship, jealousy, believing in yourself, and the painful experience of being doubted by those closest to you. If your kid likes Roald Dahl's Matilda, they'll love this story about a child whose extraordinary opportunity is met with skepticism from peers.
