Overview
Football School: The Fantastic Fan-Thology is a ten-book paperback collection from Alex Bellos and Ben Lyttleton that turns football into a doorway to learning. Across the set, young fans explore history, geography, science and maths through the game they love, alongside biographies of legendary players, brain-bending puzzles, quizzes and jokes. It's a lively, giftable bundle that keeps reluctant readers turning pages while sneaking in genuine educational value at every kick.
About the Books
Each title in this Fan-Thology approaches football from a different angle. Where Football Rules the World, Saves the World and Tackles the World use match-day facts to explain history, biology, geography and maths in short, punchy chapters. Celebrates the World dives into quirky trivia, from robot referees to record-breaking matches. Star Players and Epic Heroes bring together dozens of true stories celebrating players and teams who shaped the sport, told in an accessible, biography-style format. Terrific Teams pulls back the curtain on the world's most famous clubs, while The Ultimate Puzzle Book and The Greatest Ever Quiz Book challenge readers with hundreds of football-themed brainteasers and quiz questions. Rounding out the set, The Incredible Joke Book delivers gags about nicknames, stars and match-day mishaps. Together, the ten books combine narrative non-fiction, trivia and activity content, illustrated throughout and written in short, digestible sections designed to hold the attention of 7-9 year olds. Whether read cover to cover or dipped into at random, the collection rewards curiosity and is equally at home on a bedroom shelf, in a school library, or packed for a long journey.
