"An absolutely fantastic book – just the thing to inspire future Lionesses!" – Beth Mead, Lioness

Shoot for the stars with Sammy Striker! From Oscars Prize-shortlisted Catherine Emmett and bestselling illustrator Joe Berger, Sammy Striker and the Football Cup is an empowering story for young footie fans, about friendship, football, and having the courage to believe in yourself.

Sammy Striker is NEVER found without a football at her feet, and one day at the park, she's spotted by Melissa McDream who coaches the Under 8s National Team! Sammy is a dribbler-extraordinaire, headed straight for the top. But, as the Football Cup gets closer, Sammy's shots on goal go a bit . . . wonky.

Will Sammy work out that it's what makes her DIFFERENT that will help them win the final?

Catherine Emmett grew up in Newcastle and spent her childhood reading books. When she grew up, she spent fourteen years making spreadsheets in London. After advising a group of young girls to find a career they loved, she decided to take her own advice, and packed up her husband and three sons, moving to rural Essex where she started writing picture books. She's the author of King of the Swamp and The Pet, which was shortlisted for Oscar's Book Prize in 2022.

Joe Berger, the illustrator of Hubble Bubble, Granny Trouble and the Superhero series with Nosy Crow is a children’s author, illustrator and cartoonist who also makes the occasional award-winning animated short film and title-sequence. He is co-creator of the Berger & Wyse cartoons, which featured weekly in The Guardian Weekend magazine for eighteen years and has illustrated numerous books, inside and out, for children and grown-ups. Joe lives in Bristol with his wife, three daughters, two cats and a small dog.
