A delightful tale of victory against all odds from master storyteller, Michael Morpurgo, lavishly illustrated by Michael Foreman.
“Every fox in the whole town, in the whole country just about, is a football fan… And we all have an impossible dream.” In a cosy den under a garden shed lives a family of foxes. They love to watch football – all foxes do. But their favourite team keeps losing and losing, and it seems like things will never look up. That is, until Daddy Fox finds the ghost of a king, buried underneath a car park. A king who wishes only to be free. “Release me,” says the Ghost King, “and I can do anything. Just tell me your greatest wish.” For these football-loving foxes, might everything be about to change…?Reviews
It was very good for football fans, but I don't like it much so it wasn't a favourite of mine. I recommend this book to anybody the age of around 7+. All of Michael Morpurgo's books are so different in a good way and each book is a surprise.

I liked this book. My favourite character was the foxes because they were cautious but helped in the end. I would recommend this book for a 7 or 8 year old because the words are quite big which are easy to read.
