Tell us about the author	Tom Palmer is  a father, husband, author, football fan and a reader. Reading about football was what changed his life. Tom wasn’t keen on reading when he was young.His mum was worried about him because he didn’t do very well at school. She encouraged him to read about football in newspapers, magazines and books. Gradually he came to love books. And, from that point, it  changed his life. He wanted to know everything about books. He went to night school to do A levels (high school qualifications) when I was 21. Then he did a degree in European Literature when he was 24. It was brilliant!    After he had graduated, he went to work in a bookshop, then a library, then he managed book festivals. All that time he was writing: stories, poems, diaries and books for adults. Then – after a few years – he was lucky enough to have one of his football books for children accepted by Puffin- a publishing company.

Finally, read an exciting, interesting, or amusing passage from your book. (Stop reading at a moment that leaves the audience hanging and add "If you want to know more you’ll have to read the book."
