Homework OVER THE LINE BY TOM PALMER

The Plot Jack started playing professional football for Huddersfield Town before the war, but then the war broke out. Whenever he was playing and the war was taking place, protesters would tell them they should go and join the war and stop playing football. Jack got so annoyed with them that he eventually went to the London, to the war signing up office and joined. There were many different battalions but Jack chose the footballers battalion. He had to have a lot of training before he joined the war. It wasn’t long before he had finished his training and was quickly promoted to a Corporal. A lot of people who he knew died but fortunately he survived. When the war ended he had a transfer to Chelsea and was also called up to the England national squad. From there he continued his football career.

A Description Of My Favourite Character Jack is my favourite character. I like him because of his personality. I also like that no matter what gets in his way in life, he still follows his dream of being called up to the England national squad. He loves playing football even if it is in the trenches. He’s fairly tall with short black hair.

Why I like This Book I like this book because I love football and war stories. This is about both and it’s in one story !

Recommendations I would recommend this book to anyone over six years old because every now and again it gets a bit upsetting. If you like war stories and/or football stories you will surely love this one.
