Football School Star Players
by Alex Bellos and Ben Lyttleton
book review
The Football School books aim to teach young readers all about the
world through football. Authors Alex Bellow and Ben Lyttleton
manage to cleverly explain all sorts of different subjects and
themes through fascinating football-related information. The
books are divided into ‘lessons’ where, for example, Business Studies
looks at footballers’ wages, why they’re paid so much, and where
the money comes from; Zoology considers famous club mascots;
Physics is all about gravity, and asking what it would be like to play
football on Mars; Drama looks at goal celebrations (the Oscar
goes to the Icelandic team of Stjarnan and it’s well worth googling
them to see why!). There are lots of diagrams, brilliant cartoon illustrations
and jokes throughout, making them perfectly ‘pitched’
for 8-12 year olds. This month sees the release of the latest book
in the series, Football School: Star Players, a collection of 50 of the
inspiring stories of some of the game’s greatest players.
