Barrington Stoke is a publisher dedicated to producing accessible, enjoyable and unpatronising short books for children who are dyslexic, struggling to read, or simply reluctant to sit down with a book. Barrington Stoke titles are printed on high-quality cream or off-white paper, which is more restful on the eye. The font is specially modified to encourage a smooth read. No right-hand justification means it's easier for the reader to keep their line place. Barrington Stoke books use challenging but familiar vocabulary, with a clear and direct language structure, well-spaced text and short chapters.

Jimmy dreams of becoming a pro footballer. Can he make it with the help of his heroes, all wearers of the number seven shirt?
