""An absolutely fantastic book – just the thing to inspire future Lionesses!"" – Beth Mead, Lioness Shoot for the stars with Sammy Striker! From Oscars Prize-shortlisted Catherine Emmett and bestselling illustrator Joe Berger, Sammy Striker and the Football Cup is an empowering story for young footie fans, about friendship, football, and having the courage to believe in yourself. Sammy Striker is NEVER found without a football at her feet, and one day at the park, she's spotted by Melissa McDream who coaches the Under 8s National Team! Sammy is a dribbler-extraordinaire, headed straight for the top. But, as the Football Cup gets closer, Sammy's shots on goal go a bit . . . wonky. Will Sammy work out that it's what makes her DIFFERENT that will help them win the final?
Reviews
Sammy Striker goes everywhere with her ball and is very good at playing football. One day the coach of the under-eights team invited her to join the team. She was very happy. She was very fast, but her kick was curved and she was not able to shoot into the net. She tried hard, but her kick continued to curve. During a match, her coach told her that to be one of the best she should not try to do things like everyone else. She was different, and that gave her pride. With great control of her curved kick, she scored four times in that game. – The story teaches that what makes you different is what helps you succeed.

Sammy is my favourite person because she has a green tshirt and a red and golden ball.

It is a book about football. I like it because I like football. Sammy is a girl, who loves football. Once she went to the park and she was asked by famous coach to play in her team. She accepts and gets to play, but she is very nervous and doesn't play very well. She learns to believe in herself and helps the team win the trophy. It is a fiction I recommend

She did a good goal even if she shoots the ball in a curve.

It was ok if you like football. Even if you can’t hit the ball right you can still score a different way
