Description
Join Girls FC as they show the world what it really means to play like a girl!
"Hi! We're twins Dylan and Daisy McNeil. We're meant to write the match-reports for our football team, but we keep getting muddled our granny says we're something called 'dyslexic'..." Daisy and Dylan love playing football, but their captain Megan isn't very happy when they make a mess of the match-reports. The twins can't seem to arrive on time for their matches, either though living in a chaotic household, which includes ballet-mad twin brothers and countless pets, certainly doesnt help. Luckily, their Scottish granny knows just how they can turn things around! This is the fourth in a twelve-book series about women's football, with each charmingly-written book focusing on a different member of the football team and a different issue all building up to the final book, which explores the future of the team as the original Girls FC moves on to secondary school.
This book will encourage girls to get involved in sport from an early age. Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson on Girls FC 1
