Yasmin gets so good at it that the game’s company invite her to play at a national competition. Her friends, teachers, and family are mega excited about the opportunity, but Yasmin’s not! So when her best friend Zane introduces her to a cool football game called FifPro, Yassmin’s ready for some fun!

Description

From comedy superstar Romesh Ranganathan comes a second unique and hilarious middle-grade story, perfect for readers of David Baddiel, Little Badman and Adam B’s Adam Wins the Internet!

Yasmin Bandara has NO IDEA what she wants to be when she grows up.

Her parents want her to become a doctor and focus on school, they won’t even let her play computer games unless it’s an educational one called Monkey House. Yasmin’s amazing at it, but yawn!

So when her best friend Zane introduces her to an exciting football game called FifPro, Yasmin can’t get enough! She secretly plays whenever she can, hoping one day she’ll be as good as her favourite gamer, mysteriously known as ‘The Goat’.

But balancing schoolwork with gaming is starting to make Yasmin’s head SPIN. And when she’s invited to play in tournaments for both games, she realises she’s got to make a choice.

Can Yasmin make her parents proud AND beat The Goat, or will it be GAME OVER?
