FULLY ILLUSTRATED WITH COMIC-STYLE CARTOONS, this action-packed Football Superstars story is perfect for young readers aged five and up.
Is Kylian Mbappé your ultimate football hero? His blistering pace and deadly finishing have made him one of the world’s top forwards – the youngest player ever to score 16 goals in the Champions League, and the first to score a hat-trick in a World Cup final since 1966, at the FIFA World Cup 2022.
Mbappé started playing football at the age of six, coached by his dad. Discover how he went from practising on a pitch he created in his living room to becoming a World Cup winner and one of the most feared attackers in the game.
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.
