A timeless story of football, friendship and determination from
acclaimed author Rebecca Stevens - perfect for budding Lionesses!
'Girls will be galvanized to follow their dreams, break boundaries
and play football!' SOUTH WALES EVENING POST '... perfectly
captured story of football and girls set during WW1. A historical
novel not just for football fans.' ANGELS AND URCHINS It's 1917.
Lily spends her days working in a munitions factory, her nights
picking metal out of her hair, and her lunchtimes kicking a ball
with her workmates. Together they form a football team, the
Rockets, and a league soon follows. But when the war ends, the
girls lose both their jobs and their football. Not Lily. If her
only chance of being a goalie is to play with the men, then that's
what she'll do ... The perfect read for aspiring young footballers
- and to celebrate England's Euro 2022 win! Based on the true story
of the original Arsenal Ladies' team, one of several female-only
teams which formed during WW1, only to be met with a ban once the
war ended Rebecca's novels have been shortlisted for the Historical
Association Young Quills Award and the Branford Boase Award
