Overview
Cheer on a whole squad of unforgettable characters with this six-book Girls FC collection by Helena Pielichaty. Following the all-girls team founded by football-mad Megan Fawcett, each paperback story tackles a fresh challenge on and off the pitch, from first tournaments and tricky siblings to team spirit during a World Cup summer. Funny, warm, and grounded in real school life, this set brings six complete adventures together in one great-value bundle, perfect for a young reader working through a favorite series or a parent building a home library for a football-loving kid.

About the Books
The Girls FC series follows the ups and downs of a scrappy, determined school football team as its players juggle matches, friendships, and family life. It opens with Megan Fawcett's mission to start her own all-girls team after being overlooked by the boys' squad, a story that sets the tone for the whole run: funny, big-hearted, and full of small triumphs. From there, the collection widens its focus to teammates like Petra, Lucy Skidmore, Daisy, Dylan, Holly Woolcock, and Nika Kozak, each dealing with her own off-pitch pressures while the team works toward its next big match. Themes of divorce, sibling rivalry, and cultural pride are handled with a light touch that never talks down to young readers, while the football scenes are paced with real excitement for anyone who has ever kicked a ball on a school pitch. Written in short, punchy chapters and grounded in the everyday texture of school life, matches, and friendship groups, these books suit confident young readers moving into longer fiction, and work equally well read solo, aloud at bedtime, or shared in a classroom library. Every title stands alone, so kids can start with whichever book grabs them first without missing a beat, though reading the set in order lets fans watch the team, and its friendships, grow across a full football season from first tournament to end-of-year celebration.
