In this new rugby adventure for Jimmy and his friends, James Hook and David Brayley examine concussion, tackling, and the true bravery that’s needed to overcome your fears.

Jimmy Joseph is enjoying a long, hot summer with his friends, counting down the days until he attends his first ever training camp at the Eagles Academy, the youth section of his local pro club. He hopes this is going to be the first major step on his journey to being a professional rugby player…but a heavy tackle in training and cruel behaviour from his nemesis, Mr Kane, leads to Jimmy suffering a complete loss of confidence. How can he ever regain his love of the game - and fulfil his rugby dreams if he is too afraid to tackle?

In this new rugby adventure for Jimmy and his friends, James Hook and David Brayley examine concussion, tackling, friendship, loyalty and the true bravery that’s needed to overcome your fears.

‘James Hook has nailed it. A book packed with positive messages - what young rugby fans have been waiting for.’ - Alan Pearey, Rugby World
