Bert loves playing football. He dreams of being a professional footballer for his local side West Farthing F.C. There is just one problem. Bert is a chicken.
OUT NOW!
Shaun's first ever book is a story about a chicken called Bert who dreams of playing football for his favourite team, West Farthing F.C. All the other chickens mock Bert for his dream but, after a chance meeting with West Farthing's manager, Gerald Fox, Bert's life is changed forever.
Fowl is an engaging little football story right out of the Roy of the Rovers locker. This is a very entertaining and heart-warming little book. Not very long and should hold the children’s attention quite easily.
There is a lot of excitement to be had and a few morals to be taught, specifically about loyalty, friendship and brotherly love.
If I had one fault to find with the book, it would be that it could have used a few pictures or drawings. It is just a thought.
Fowl is definitely a book that I will be suggesting for the Library shelf and for friends and family.

This is a perfect book for children that love football. It is exciting, a lot is happening, and it is also heartwarming. And the main message is just perfect. I wish there were illustrations to go with it.
