About this book

Every young cricketer knows the feeling: the nerves before facing the first ball, the sting of a duck, the frustration of sitting on the bench. This collection of 21 short stories meets children exactly there. Through invented young players who face real challenges — pressure, failure, unfairness, sledging, the temptation to show off — each fast-paced tale carries one clear lesson about courage, fair play, focus, and resilience, then closes with a true "Real Champion" fact-box about a cricketer who lived that same lesson, from Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Sachin Tendulkar to Jhulan Goswami and Kane Williamson.

Written for readers aged 9 to 18 and for everyone who coaches, parents, or cheers for them, this is more than a cricket book — it's a gentle guide to character, disguised as the game children already love. Each story ends with two "Think About It" questions perfect for bedtime, the classroom, or the drive home from practice, and the book includes a young cricketer's glossary, a "Meet the Real Champions" reference, and a discussion guide for parents and coaches. If these stories help a child in your life play, and live, with a little more heart, please take two minutes to leave an honest review — it helps another family find the book.
