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
I thought it was interesting how the foxes liked football so much. It was cool how there was a ghost king and how he could grant wishes like to help Leicester win the premier league.

I love because it uses please and thank you and it’s all about foxes being helpful. And I really like the Shakespeare play at the end.

Too short to get interesting. The book was about two foxes that discovered a ghost king underground.

I think the best bit was the middle and the end. Then from page 107 I think they included the fox and the ghost king a bit more. it was fiction and I thought the best person was the ghost king because he pointing and telling them off.

Because my second favourite animal is a fox and I also like how it is based on a football team and I like how there's no one that someone doesn't like.
