What is Man of the Match about?

Football-mad Bobby and his big sister Charlie head to summer camp, where Bobby quickly befriends Paul, a quiet boy who hides beneath a furry parka. Bobby is determined to play football with him, while Charlie tries to keep an eye on Bobby and face her own fear of water during a tricky relay race. With Bobby’s cheerful determination, Charlie finds her courage and Paul begins to speak. By the end of camp, Bobby has helped everyone discover their strengths—and becomes the true man of the match.
