Written in short, punchy chapters, the set is designed to hook young readers who love fast facts, quirky history and inspiring real-life moments both on and off the pitch.

About the Books
Each title takes a different angle on football's true stories. The Most Incredible True Football Stories (You Never Knew) gathers bizarre and brilliant tales — from a psychic octopus predicting World Cup results to a dog that once helped recover a stolen trophy — proving football history is stranger than fiction. How Football Can Change the World focuses on football's power for good, exploring how communities, children and players have used the game to break down barriers and bring people together. The Most Incredible True Football Stories - The England Edition narrows in on England's national teams, covering memorable moments from the men's and women's game, including pitch invasions, wartime heroics, and the "Lost Lionesses" who made history in Mexico. Together, the three books offer a fast-paced introduction to football's history, culture and social impact, told in an accessible style suited to both dedicated readers and football fans new to books. Short chapters and punchy storytelling make this an ideal set for bedtime reading, car journeys, or dipping in and out of at will.
