About this listen
Football (soccer) biographies for kids—written by people with kids, for kids.
In this biography designed for children, your child will learn all about their hero in a way that's enjoyable and easy to understand.
We understand not all kids enjoy books; that’s because they’re often made to read books they have no interest in. We wanted to make football (soccer) books for kids that they would really enjoy.
- Easy to listen to
- Packed full of information to keep your child’s attention
- Writing style to engage kids
- Detailed stories about particular games and personal highlights
- Ideal for children aged eight to 14 years old
We dive deep into the player's upbringing with the situations and circumstances that made them the player they are today. The highs, the lows, and everything in between.
If your child loves football (soccer), we can ensure you that they’ll love the My Football Hero Series.
From the feedback we’ve received, we recommend that the ideal age group for these books are between eight and 14 years of age.
We try to keep our books short, as we don’t want them to be too long that children get bored, but also want them to be long enough to have bags full of information and keep them entertained.
We also try and release a new book every month to try and cover every child's hero.
This book needs no introduction, ladies and gentlemen...Lionel Messi!

Story
Born and raised in a small town, Leo K. Doyle has never seen the ocean or stepped foot on a plane. But Leo is a star soccer player with big dreams in life. Rock-star, Olympic gold, dragon-slaying dreams. While Leo has a pet lizard named Messi and longs to make the pros one day, he has no idea how to achieve this goal—until a professional scout pays a chance visit to one of Leo’s games and extends an invitation to try out for the London Dragons youth squad, known as The Academy.

Story
Point guard Caitlin Clark took the world of college basketball by storm when she began playing for the University of Iowa in 2020, earning 27 points in her first game alone. By the end of her college career, Caitlin broke the record for total NCAA career-scoring points by scoring 3,951 points over her four years as an Iowa Hawkeye. The high-scoring athlete grabbed the attention of the world—over 14 million viewers tuned in to watch her playoff games in April of 2024.

Story
Ben Ripley may only be in middle school, but he's already pegged his dream job: CIA or bust. Unfortunately for him, his personality doesn't exactly scream "secret agent". In fact Ben is so awkward, he can barely get to school and back without a mishap. Because of his innate nerdiness, Ben is not surprised when he is recruited for a magnet school with a focus on science - but he's entirely shocked to discover that the school is actually a front for a junior CIA academy.

Story
As an energetic six-year-old, Beth Mead was taken to a weekly local football session by her mum. Finding a passion for the game, Beth often found herself as the only girl on the team. Despite being laughed at for this, she let her natural talent do the talking. At 16, Mead was signed to Sunderland where she made a name for herself as a top goalscorer. Putting off offers from Arsenal until she completed her university degree, Mead continued juggling work, study and football until she graduated. She then signed to Arsenal and earned a place as a Lioness, representing the England national team.
