I'm really sorry but the format wasn't compatible so I was unable to read it properly.. I have given 4 stars due to the issue.

A great book for younger adults and children to read if they care about women’s sports. Loved learning some insight into Leah’s life and her explaining how she got there. This is a good book for little girls that want to play soccer! Would recommend it

Such an awesome book to pick up for everyone, not just young readers. I remember when I was growing up, reading or watching a movie where sports played a large role would inspire me so much, my friends and I would play that sport for recess for weeks after. Overall enjoyable read, quality points and I like the cover a lot.

One does not hear much about women's football especially coming out of England where the men seem to rule. However, this biography of Leah Williamson and her rise from humble beginnings to playing in the Women's Super League and making a big difference, may well inspire other like-minded girls and women to join the ranks. Leah's hard work, persistence and determination aided her well.

Harry Meredith writes in easy-to-read enthusiastic form. Therefore, I would say that any young girls who love playing football, will likely love taking a look at Leah's journey as spelled out in this book. There are also some 'hand-drawn' illustrations throughout that are interesting.
