Overview
Kick off an unforgettable adventure with The Wonder Team, a five-book paperback collection from Lioness and England captain Leah Williamson, co-written with Jordan Glover and illustrated by Robin Boyden. Perfect for readers ages 8-12 (Grades 3-7), this collection follows best friends Leah, George, and Mimi as they are flung through decades and continents chasing footballing mysteries. From a century-old ban on women's football to ancient Egypt, the Tanzanian rainforest, a daring Space Race, and a stadium full of secrets, every story blends sport, history, and friendship into fast, fun reads that celebrate teamwork and courage.

About the Books
The Wonder Team series channels the real energy of Lioness Leah Williamson into a time-hopping adventure built for young football fans. At the heart of every book are three inseparable best friends, Leah, George, and Mimi, who keep stumbling into history through a mysterious time capsule. Their journeys mix match-day thrills with the wonder of discovery, sending the trio a hundred years back to a Britain where women's football has just been banned, a premise loosely inspired by the real Dick, Kerr Ladies' stand against that ban. From there the series widens its scope, carrying the team to the sands of Egypt, the rainforests of Tanzania, a historic Space Race, and finally into a stadium wrapped in an eerie new mystery. Robin Boyden's lively illustrations bring each setting vividly to life on the page. Written in short, punchy chapters with plenty of dialogue and momentum, the books suit readers who want a quick, satisfying story rather than a slow burn. Themes of fairness, courage, curiosity, and standing up for what's right run through every adventure, delivered with warmth and humor. Each book works as a standalone mystery while still rewarding readers who follow the full arc, suiting a dedicated fan working through the set in order or a newer reader dipping in wherever a title catches their eye.
