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 Mohamed Salah your ultimate football hero? One of the most famous players in the world, Salah is known for his lightning pace, sharp finishing and big-game brilliance for Liverpool FC and the Egypt national team.
Discover how Salah grew up in Gharbia, Egypt, worked his way through the youth ranks at El Mokawloons, and battled setbacks early in his career before rising to the very top of the game. His journey took him across Europe before he helped lead Liverpool to UEFA Champions League glory in 2019 and became African Footballer of the Year.
Fast, fearless and relentless, Mohamed Salah’s story is one of belief, determination and never giving up – and why he’s inspired millions of football fans around the world.
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.
