Dark Arena

Description

It's meant to be a stress-free holiday in London, but suddenly Seth and Nadiya will need all their skills as Defenders. Ghostly activity is threatening a Premier League club as they build a new stadium on Roman ruins. One worker has already met a grisly death - and many other lives are in danger. The horror of modern injustice seems to have woken the spirits of the past ... What can the Defenders do to change things?

Tom Palmer is originally from Leeds and credits articles about football with getting him into reading as a child. As well as writing the top selling Football Academy and Foul Play series (Puffin), he has also written many books for Barrington Stoke including Over the Line, Ghost Stadium, Secret FC, and the Rugby Academy and Wings series, all of which continue to sell strongly.

"A typically exciting and involving story from Tom Palmer" -- LoveReading4Kids "Brings a really interesting dimension for pupils learning about Roman Britain" -- Books for Topics "Engaging yet easily accessible. The plot moves along quickly leaving the reader eager to find out what is happening and how it can be stopped. When reading for the first time, I devoured Dark Arena in one sitting. I just couldn't put the book down" -- Mr Davies Reads, Blog
