Jamie Johnson series
Written by Dan Freedman, it is the story of a boy who lives and breathes soccer, who
has great skills, and who wants to get to the top.
In each book we see Jamie as he learns more and follows his dream. He plans to
become one of the greatest soccer players in the world. Laced with the kind of real-
life experiences that all kids face growing up, the stories transcend football and allow
kids of all backgrounds and interests to be enthralled by the world of Jamie Johnson.
The series has also been adapted into a major BBC TV drama which has been running
for seven series and has been screened in over 70 countries.
The series is available in 3 formats:
• The original novels in English
• The original novels translated
into Spanish
• Graded readers adapted from
the original novels
Graded Readers
Graded readers are books that have
been simplified for for reluctant
readers and second language
learners to make them easier to
read. They are designed to help
learners practise and enjoy reading
in English at a level they can
manage, and to increase their
reading grade as they improve.
