Everyone loves Christmas. Everyone except Jed.

The festive season is fast approaching, but he has nothing to look forward to, the house is cold, and he can't afford any presents. There is one good thing; his football team are taking part in the Christmas Cup, a knockout tournament that will test them to the limit. They're determined to win, but the odds are against them.

Will the Ferndale Foxes overcome the challenges that face them at every turn? And will Jed find a way to buy his mum a gift? Or will it all end in misery and disappointment?

The Christmas Cup is part of 'The Football Boys' series, action-packed books for football and soccer-mad kids aged 8-12!
