FULLY ILLUSTRATED WITH COMIC-STYLE CARTOONS, this action-packed Football Superstars story is perfect for young readers aged five and up.
Is Harry Kane your ultimate football hero? He was the first player to score 100 Premier League goals for Spurs, a deadly striker for England who won the Golden Boot at the 2018 FIFA World Cup, and has since gone on to become a leading scorer at Bayern Munich.
But Kane’s journey wasn’t easy. Released by Arsenal at just eight years old, he refused to give up. Discover how he fought his way back, signed for local rivals Spurs and became one of the most feared strikers in world football.
Football Superstars is a fast-paced, highly visual series combining comic-style cartoons, clear storytelling and a lively cast of characters who add jokes, quotes and commentary throughout.
Simon once worked at the Science Museum in London, where he flew paper aeroplanes and made giant bubbles for children. Now he writes and edits books about things like dinosaurs, ice hockey, thunderstorms and llamas. He lives in Kent with his wife and daughter, a cat and two tortoises.
Dan Green has drawn silly pictures since he could hold a crayon. Then he grew up and started making books about stuff like trucks, space, people’s jobs, Doctor Who and Star Wars. Dan lives in Suffolk with his wife, son, daughter and dog that takes him for very long walks.
