Join Girls FC as they show the world what it really means to play like a girl! Hi! We're twins Dylan and Daisy McNeil.

Daisy and Dylan love playing football, but their captain Megan isn't very happy when they make a mess of the match-reports. The twins can't seem to arrive on time for their matches, either - though living in a chaotic household, which includes ballet-mad twin brothers and countless pets, certainly doesn't help. Luckily, their Scottish granny knows just how they can turn things around!

This book ... will encourage girls to get involved in sport from an early age.-Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson on Girls FC 1
