The tittle of the book is not that significant.the protagonist is an evil little kid who hates his mothers farm. the antagonist is the nature itself. the story is set in modern day. the complication is the protagonist gets lost in the woods. the story is half what i predicted the boy gets killed but he gets turned into a scarecrow.

"Offside" is a very important title for this book as it tells you straight away that the book is going to be about a sport with the rule of offside.The protaginist in my story is a sly character which leads the group of friends to the good ending of the story.She also has a sense of crankyness when needed. The antagonist in my story is a very cranky girl which has a bit of a twist to her and is allways very nasty to people.Sometimes she decideds too help though and then breaks back on the protagonist in a second. The story is set in a school yard with a couple of friends and they all play soccer. There is a mixture of girls and guys in this group. The complication is the teachers quitting the girls soccer team and them trying to get it back into the school. The story ended with the girls being able to play and winning the laegends of sport cup. By Sebastion Loutkovsky
