LoveReading
“[…] the Football School series from Walker is great for those kids who aren’t into fiction. Using football to teach kids about the world around them, with chapters on biology, maths and history they’re quirky, funny and genuinely engaging. I can’t say that about many of the reference books from my childhood.”
The Bookseller
“Funny, informative, and hugely entertaining, it is recommended for fans of non-fiction books.”
