FULLY ILLUSTRATED WITH COMIC-STYLE CARTOONS, this revised edition brings Cristiano Ronaldo’s incredible story fully up to date, including his stats and achievements since his return to the Premier League in 2021.
Did you know Ronaldo was the first player to reach 800 career goals, has won an astonishing 32 trophies, and became the oldest player to score a World Cup hat-trick at the age of 33? He can even jump higher than the average NBA player.
Follow his journey from kicking bottles on the streets of Madeira to becoming a global football icon at Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus.
Football Superstars is a fast-paced, highly visual series designed to inspire a love of reading, 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.
