TRANSCRIPT
Kick off the summer holidays with the fantastic new footy series Girls FC. Follow Megan Fawcett, Petra and the rest of the players as they train, talk tactics and take on the teams!
Under the guidance of fab coach Hannah, the Parrs Under 11’s (known as the ‘Parsnips’) have the makings of a fi rst class team and certainly have a point to prove to anybody who doesn’t take them seriously.
The twelve-book series launches with four titles - each one narrated by a different member of the team.
Perfect for seven-to-eleven-year-olds year olds, these books are fun, engaging and enjoyable, exploring themes of friendship, teamwork, leadership and loyalty. As the fi rst children’s series to feature a girls’ football team, Girls FC brilliantly raises the profi le of one of the fastest growing sports in the world!
Helena Pielichaty is a massive football fan and loyal Huddersfi eld Town supporter. Determined to accurately portray the world of girls’ football, Helena has done more research for Girls FC than for all her other books put together! She has been helped along the way by a local under 11 girls’ team as well as her twenty-four-year-old daughter who has been playing football since she was nine!
