Review quote:
Mbappé vs Haaland is far more than a football book—it’s a clever, engaging and sharply designed title that invites young readers to think for themselves. It compares two of the biggest stars in world football not just by fan opinion, but through detailed stats, biographies, and analytical reasoning that encourages critical thought.
Review quote:
This is surely a book for football fans to have. I am totally ignorant when it comes to football but this book is still an interesting read to me. I am sure that my football fan students will be thrilled to read this. Reading about successful people can motivate children to be driven and confident and this book does just that.
Review quote:
Fun and full of facts.

An informative and easy to read book, perfect for football fans aged 7-11. Less confident readers would enjoy how it is split into easy-to-read sections with stats and quizzes throughout.
Review quote:
I love football and my favourite player is Haaland. This book takes a detailed look at two amazing players, they use stats, pictures and comments from current and past football players. I like the layout of this book too, it”s not like a normal story book, so it”s more interesting.
