Description

Charlie has a football mad family - her mother gives a yellow card rather than a ticking off (because you can't argue with the ref. can you?). Usually the family make a great team, so when her thirteen-year-old brother Semi starts to get grumpy and choses not to join in, it is a great shock. Well, it's a great shock for Charlie and little brother Bobby. But her parents seem to know exactly what is going on. It takes a while for Charlie to realise that it's the onset of teenagerdom, and all to be expected - and even better, Semi will get over it!
