I'm so excited to be returning to the world of Kick in my new novel, Strike, publishing next summer!
Expect big moments, big emotions, and lots of football.
.@Usborne has acquired STRIKE, the “thrilling standalone sequel” to Mitch Johnson’s (@MitchAuthor) debut Kick. The book will be published in June 2026 to coincide with the FIFA Men’s World Cup 👇
