My Review:-Jac looks at his father and only sees his hero. When the teacher asks the class to write about 'Who Is Your Hero' Jac knew what he was writing about. Football has always been something Jac loves and so did his dad. When Jac is ask to play football with ethe team that his best friend Zac plays in he thought it was the best thing of all. But it wasn't long before he noticed things were different after he had been to Zac's and then after football. Why did his mam not think it was a good idea telling his dad about Zac and the football team, after all his dad loved football and knew how much Jac did as well. It wasn't until some footballers came into school and spoke to the kids about racism. That's when Jac started to notice things and start to understand why his dad would say things at football but nowhere else. It takes an accident to happen for things to come out in the open. I've worked around kids of all ages, and up to the age of 5 or 6 children look at life different compared to older children. The author has shown just how children don't see anything wrong with colour or who you are, to them we are all the same. Its only when we get older we start to understand more.
