Who isn't a fan of the Lionesses! Currently ranked among the world's top five, the current team have grown into a powerhouse and claimed their place as the best in Europe on home soil in that thrilling final at Wembley in the summer of 2022!
Football Superstar's dynamic duo, Dan and Simon, were glued to their screens too, and are now here to tell you the story of how the Lionesses became so mighty. They look back at how the sport rose from a 50-year ban to becoming one of the nation's most eagerly watched games. Along the way you'll learn about the legendary players, managers, matches, songs, fans and, of course, all the awesome stats that tell the story of the Lionesses' glory trail on the international stage.
Football Superstars is a series aimed at building a love of reading from a young age, with fun cartoons, inspirational stories, a simple narrative style and a cast of characters chipping in with quotes, jokes and comments.
After studying the history of everything at Goldsmiths College, Simon worked at the Science Museum making paper aeroplanes and setting fire to hydrogen balloons. Despite being a fully grown man, his favourite subjects include dinosaurs, robots, rockets, loud music and Star Wars. An Ipswich Town fan since they won the FA Cup in 1978 (it's true - look it up) he lives in Kent with his wife, daughter, and a cat with two names.
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.
