Twelve-year-old Emmie is working to raise money for a tricked-out
wheelchair to get serious about WCMX (wheelchair motocross), when a
wipeout on a rickety ramp throws her plans into a tailspin. Instead
of replacing the ramp, her school provides her with a kind but
unwelcome aide - and, seeing a golden media opportunity, launches a
public fundraiser for her. Emmie loves her close-knit rural town,
but she can't shake the feeling that her goals suddenly aren't hers
anymore. With the help of her best friends, Emmie makes a plan to
get her dreams off the ground - and show her community what she
wants, what she has to give, and how ready she is to do it on her
own terms.
Join Girls FC as they show the world what it really means to play
"like a girl"! "My name's Lucy Skidmore and I love football. But my
brother Harry has been awful since our parents split up - and now
he's even getting in the way of football practice..." The under
eleven girls' football league is well underway and Lucy Skidmore is
her team's best defender. But since her parents' divorce, her
brother Harry is acting out. Lucy overcompensates by trying to
please both parents all the time; but with a dad living miles away,
a mum stressed out and a sulky brother to contend with, she's
feeling the pressure. This is the third in a twelve-book series
about women's football, with each charmingly-written book focusing
on a different member of the football team and a different issue -
all building up to the final book, which explores the future of the
team as the original Girls FC moves on to secondary school. "This
book ... will encourage girls to get involved in sport from an
early age." -Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson on Girls FC 1

Kerry-Ann Taylor loves cricket. It's in her blood - in the 1950s

box of vinyls and his precious cricket bat. Whenever she can,
Kerry-Ann heads to her local ground for matches, practise, and fun
with her best friend Amardeep. But now there's a problem. Some of
the older players - who think they own the place - have found a way
to exploit new club rules to stop Kerry-Ann and her friends from
using the ground. And the rule changes state that next season the
over 13s team will be strictly boys only ... meaning no matches for
Kerry-Ann. But Kerry-Ann is determined to carry on playing cricket
with her friends. So she devises a daring plan to stay in the game
she loves. And unbeknown to her, she's about to get some help via
her grandad's precious cricket bat - which has a lot more to it
