Stacey the Soccer Fairy

Stacey the Soccer Fairy by Daisy Meadows\

This was originally "Francesca the Football Fairy" in the UK. The girls attend a soccer game with their parents. It is very clearly European Football - it is very popular and relegation is a thing. A goblin has stolen the special soccer ball that helps people to play well. The goblin team hopes to win a tournament. However, like in other fairy books, if the wrong people have this object, things mess up. The girls and stacey need to hunt down the goblin to get the soccer ball. This includes a bus chase in the parking lot - something that seems a little more intense than the typical fairy book. However, they are able to clean up the mess and the girls go back to the game, where one of their dad's is fully decked out in gear, wig and face paint.
