A review by karteabooks
Jump! by Jg Nolan

5.0

 

I jumped at the chance when I was asked to read and review this book for so many, many reasons. Even though, I admit, I’m not really a football fan, the whole premise of this book perked my interest. 

I really enjoyed the story of Robbie, a young footballer with it all to play for and everything pointing in the direction of him becoming a famous footballer when, the inevitable happens and he is injured. Unfortunately for him though, this keeps happening and after breaking his leg for the third time, he is given a devastating diagnosis. 

Written so thoughtfully and considerately for all the characters, this real life / historical / memoir book just ticks so many boxes. It made me cry, laugh, and gasp out loud as I read this engaging, evocative and emotive story. The accompanying illustrations took this book to another level. 

 I look forward to reading more of this author’s work soon. 

This is a book that should be made into a movie or a TV series, as this is a story of hope, faith, and determination that everyone and I mean EVERYONE can achieve their dreams, when everything seems to be lost. 

Thank you to @literallyPR for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
