The Dream Team: Naomie Mensa vs. the Future

The third story in the heart-warming, inclusive and funny Dream Team series about three big F's: friends, football and following your dreams!

Hey! My name's Naomie Osei, but my friends call me Mensa, cos I'm supposed to be the clever one among my friends, the Fabulous Four. Normally I'm the one with all the answers, but right now I'm struggling to figure out our future.

I mean, how do I break it to my friends that I might not be going to the same high school as them next term? Is my sax-playing good enough for the big solo at the Midsummer Concert? And can Bramrock's top girl's football team, the Dreamers, save our library from closing?

Since I can't tell the future, I kind of want to press pause and stay in the present a bit longer. But as that's impossible, I suppose I'll have to do what I'm best at and work out the solution . . .

The Dream Team: Charligh Green vs. The Spotlight

The second book in THE DREAM TEAM series.

A heart-warming, inclusive and funny new story about three big F's: friends, following your dreams and football!

Hi! I'm Charligh, and one day I'm going to be a big star. I'm full of PIZZAZZ after all, and everyone I've ever met tells me I'm unforgettable. In a good way, I think . . .

I've always loved attention, but at the moment, there's a teeny tiny chance I'm getting it for all the wrong reasons.

For starters, me and my very-nearly-world-famous team, the Bramrock Stars, are trying to win big against our rivals in the new league. But I can't stop tripping over the ball!

And although I've got my dream part in the school play, the words just won't stick in my head. What's going to happen if I can't learn my lines?

Luckily for me, my best friends really are the bestest, and I know they'll help me whatever it takes. It's time for me to step into the spotlight, and prove girls really can do anything!

The Dream Team: Jaz Santos vs. the World

The first book in THE DREAM TEAM series.

A relatable, inclusive story about families, unlikely friendships and girl power. Perfect for fans of Ella on the Outside and Jacqueline Wilson.

Olá! I'm Jasmina Santos-Campbell (but you can call me Jaz). You've probably heard of me and my football team the Bramrock Stars before. No? Well, you will soon because we're almost famous!

Forming the Stars was my genius idea - you see I need to prove to Mãe (that's my mum!) that I'm a football star so she'll want to come back home.

The idea was the easy part, though. Now I've got a team of seven very different girls and we need to work together, to be taken seriously as footballers.

We are the DREAM TEAM and we're going to show the world that girls CAN play football!
