Bleed Blue

Résumé du livre

Bleed Blue is a heartwarming, hilarious, and high-energy middle-grade novel about Owen Capel, an 7-year-old boy from Wisconsin with a passion that knows no borders: Chelsea Football Club.

When Owen discovers the magic of Chelsea through a YouTube highlight reel of Didier Drogba, it sparks a life-changing obsession. Despite living in a town where "football" means touchdowns and tailgates, Owen proudly wears his blue jersey, names his dog Kante, and wakes up at 6 a.m. to watch matches across the ocean.

From giving an unforgettable school presentation to traveling to London to visit Stamford Bridge, Owen's love for Chelsea only grows stronger. Inspired by his pilgrimage to the club's legendary stadium, he starts the first Chelsea fan club in his hometown-The Stamford Squad-turning his garage into a mini-Stamford Bridge and rallying unlikely fans around him.

When a school-wide Chelsea watch party draws a massive crowd and even catches the attention of Chelsea FC's official social media, Owen's dream comes full circle. Through laughter, loyalty, chants, and cupcakes, Bleed Blue shows that football isn't just a game-it's family, it's history, and it's home, no matter where you live.
