Defenders 3 : Pitch Invasion
The past is closer than Nadiya and Seth think …
Seth and Nadiya specialise in solving hauntings at football venues by ghosts from famous historical settings.
A tense Seth is waiting to hear if his mum’s got the ‘all-clear’. But instead of relaxing in Cornwall, Seth is haunted by visions. Heads on spikes – surrounding an Iron Age hill fort to keep intruders away.
When Seth meets two football-crazy brothers from Aleppo their stories offer him a new sense of courage. Can he look death in the face and restore calm to the present?
“I hope Seth’s story in Pitch Invasion through welcoming two Syrian boys will encourage us all to be kind to our friends, neighbours and visitors wherever they are from.” Tom
