BESTSELLING FOOTBALL SUPERSTARS SERIES.
FULLY ILLUSTRATED WITH CARTOON ARTWORK, this action-packed Football Superstars story is perfect for young readers aged five and up.
Is Marcus Rashford your ultimate football hero? Known for his pace, power and determination, Rashford rose through the ranks at Manchester United to become a star at the highest level of the game, before beginning an exciting new chapter with FC Barcelona.
Discover how a local kid from Manchester earned his place in United’s famous academy, worked relentlessly to reach the first team, and became a regular England international on the world stage. Rashford’s impact goes far beyond football too – he made headlines around the world for standing up for children and families during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Fast, fearless and driven by purpose, Marcus Rashford’s story is about talent, hard work and using your voice for good – and why he’s admired both on and off the pitch.
Football Superstars is a fast-paced, highly visual series combining bold cartoon illustrations, 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.
