FULLY ILLUSTRATED WITH COMIC-STYLE CARTOONS, this action-packed Football Superstars story is perfect for young readers aged five and up.
Is Robert Lewandowski your ultimate football hero? Widely regarded as one of the greatest strikers of his generation, Lewandowski is famous for his lethal finishing, movement in the box and ability to score goals in the biggest matches for club and country.
Robert’s path to the top was shaped from an early age. Born into a sporting family – with a judo-champion father who also played professional football and a mother who starred in volleyball – Lewandowski seemed destined for a life in sport. Discover how hard work, discipline and belief turned a football-mad boy from Poland into a world-class striker feared by defenders everywhere.
Relentless, focused and ice-cold in front of goal, Lewandowski’s story shows how dedication and determination can turn talent into greatness.
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.
