Description:

Football School Season 2: Where Football Saves the World is the irresistible follow-up in Alex Bellos and Ben Lyttleton's bestselling series that uses football as a lens to explore science, history, biology, maths, and more. Every bit as funny and fascinating as the first book, this season tackles a whole new set of brilliantly silly but genuinely illuminating questions — what exactly is a vomitory? Why are footballs not perfectly round? When did women first start playing football? Which goalkeeper once let in a chicken? Packed with true stories, real science, Spike Gerrell's hilarious cartoons, and quiz questions at the end of every chapter, it is equally loved by football obsessives and curious non-fans alike. Shortlisted for the Lollies Laugh Out Loud Book Award. Can be enjoyed without having read Season 1. Recommended for readers aged 7 and above.
