Roy of the Rovers, the greatest fictional footballer ever to kick a ball, is back!
Written by award-winning children's author Tom Palmer (D-Day Dog, Armistice Runner), with illustrations by Lisa Henke, SCOUTED is the first fantastic football adventure in the new Roy of the Rovers novel series and can be combined with the thrilling new Roy of the Rovers comics, or read on its own.
Roy Race is a totally normal 16 year old. He just happens to be the best striker in Melchester, too...
Roy always dreamed of becoming a professional footballer and playing for Melchester Rovers, the team he's supported his entire life, but he never thought he had a chance - until now.
Rovers are on the lookout for new players, but is Roy good enough to catch the scout's eye? He'll have to be fitter, stronger and more determined than ever - but if he's going to become Roy of the Rovers, now's the time.
