Description:

Football School Season 1: Where Football Rules the World is a brilliant, laugh-out-loud non-fiction book that uses the beautiful game as a doorway into science, history, geography, maths, biology, and much more. Written by award-winning journalists and football experts Alex Bellos and Ben Lyttleton, this book answers the questions every football-mad kid secretly wonders about — when do footballers actually go to the toilet? Could you play football on Mars? What does a magic sponge actually do? Packed with real science, fascinating facts, true stories from the world of football, hilarious cartoons by Spike Gerrell, and quiz questions at the end of each chapter, it makes learning genuinely fun. Recommended by the Premier League, BookTrust, and the National Literacy Trust as a superb tool for encouraging reluctant readers. Runner-up at the Blue Peter Book Awards. Recommended for readers aged 7 and above.
