About the book: 2016 / In this book by the Austrian classic of children's literature, Christine Nöstlinger, you will find a new batch of stories about Franz, who is about to turn nine. Franz looks with envy at his older brother Josef, an excellent football player, and wants to be like him. Only there is no place to prove himself: the boys in Mozart Park do not take Franz to the team, because once he, the smallest of all, was so “squashed” with a ball that they had to call an ambulance. Who needs such a weak player? How can you prove that you have grown up and will no longer fall down at the first hit of the ball? Everything changes when best friend Gabi tells Franz about FKD: Girls' Football Club. Eight girls train at Schubert Park, and just think! – high school students even give them the field. More precisely, there are only seven of them: plump Uschi asks a bunch of questions, but doesn’t play. And then Franz, who came as a spectator, comes out as a substitute - he blushes with shame that he is running among the girls, but sincerely rejoices at the goals scored. What will the boys think of him when they find out? Is it possible to become a good football player playing for FKD??
