Mickel in goal

"For Mickel, there’s only one thing that matters: football. And his buddy Ozzy. And Yvonne, the sweetest girl in school. Okay, fine, three things: football, Ozzy, and Yvonne. Four, if you count getting through the day in one piece without being ambushed by a jerk from another football team. A jerk who’s sworn to crush him after a rough tackle. Life isn’t easy when you’re 14 years old, the goalkeeper for the football team, and the shortest kid in the entire school. And it definitely doesn’t get any easier when a new boy joins the class—Tony, who’s just as short but better in goal!

Nittedal Library:
An exciting book about being 14, a football fanatic, and hopelessly in love."

Librarian Ellen Engen-Medlie at Nordland County Library, Narvik Branch:
Mickel i mål is an exciting and entertaining novel. It has a moral (without being preachy) and features believable characters. It’s simply delightful to get a book like this in your hands. The author has truly nailed it and has every reason to be proud of this book.
