Kai can kick a football faster than a car drives through town. What he can't do is make it bend. With the cup final days away and his free kicks given to someone else, he lets Priya film him in slow motion, and finds out the answer was never power. But on the hottest day of the year, the thing that matters most in the final is happening at the other end of the pitch.

About the Game Changers series
Game Changers is a series of illustrated adventures for readers aged ten to twelve about the science and history of sport. Kai, who plays first and thinks later, and Priya, who films everything and plays wheelchair basketball, help at Coach Ines's free Saturday sports lab in Manchester. Each book takes one sport and one real problem a player or team brings to the lab, and shows the science that decides the result and the history behind the game.
