Synopsis

Girls FC: the best team for football and friendship. Being the daughter of someone famous isn't easy, and as the kid of an ex-Premiership footballer, Gemma Hurst has had more than her fair share of the media spotlight. She worries constantly about inevitable fuss if he is recognized and so she tries to keep his identity a secret: she won't let him come to any of her football matches and he has never met her team-mates. But when Gemma's best friend Eve urgently needs a lift home after training one day, she is forced to overcome her fears and tell Eve the truth. Gemma can trust Eve of all people - can't she?

Media Reviews

Helena Pielichaty (pronounced Pierre-li-hatty) is the bestselling author of numerous children's books, including the highly successful Simone's Letters, which was nominated for the Carnegie Medal. Her series The After School Club has eight titles and the bind-up, Clubbing Together, sold more than 25,000 copies in its first six months. A local girls' under elevens team helps with the inspiration and tactical know-how for Girls FC, but Helena has been an avid fan of women's football for many years. She lives in Nottinghamshire with her husband and has two grown-up children.
