Live Action

Sam Davies discovers that the house next door to his aunt's is being used to store action figures from all his favourite premier rugby league teams. And it looks like Sam's enemy, Vipers player Vinny Taranto, might be involved. Desperate to rescue the struggling premier league club he has bought, Vinny's father is using microchips inserted in the action figures to control the players themselves, via the logos on their new jumpers.After Sam experiences a series of uncharacteristic blunders while training, discovery of a Sam-like figure prompts him and his friends to take a closer look at Mr Taranto's operation. In an explosive showdown, Sam rescues Vinny from the booby-trapped house and discovers that Vinny is Mr Taranto's stepson, not his son. And that's not the only surprise in store for Vinny ...Ages 10 - 14Daley, Laurie is the author of 'Live Action', published 2007 under ISBN 9780207200533 and ISBN 020720053X.
