Budi’s plan is simple. He’s going to be a star.

Budi’s going to play for the greatest team on earth, instead of sweating over each stitch he sews, each football boot he makes.

But one unlucky kick brings Budi’s world crashing down. Now he owes the Dragon, the most dangerous man in Jakarta. Soon it isn’t only Budi’s dreams at stake, but his life.

A story about dreaming big, about hope and heroes, and never letting anything stand in your way.

Kick - Reviews

=Mitch Johnson brings the Indonesian city of Jakarta to life in this gripping adventure, full of twists, turns and inspiring bravery against the odds... Kick deals with issues such as poverty, child labour and human rights in a way that proves we share more than makes us different. This is a fast-paced story about big dreams, bravery and fighting for justice up until the final whistle.

Scoop magazine

I would recommend this book for people ages 10+ as a gripping and sometimes poignant novel that kept me hooked from the beginning until the last page. I particularly liked the poignant climax and unexpected but impactful ending, as well as the unique setting and character development throughout the novel.
