Find your team, build self-belief, embrace your inner Lioness

Three Lionesses

An empowering and uplifting guide from THREE legendary Lionesses, Ella Toone, Georgia Stanway and Nikita Parris. 
 
Lionesses are brave. They fiercely look out for one another. They stick together. And they will roar as loud as they need to, to make sure their voices are heard. 
 
Ella, Georgia and Nikita have learned so much from football that can apply to everyday life, from joining a new squad, to stepping up to take a penalty, and getting back up when life (or a footballer) knocks you down. With the true stories of how they got to where they are today and tons of practical tips, this book will help young readers embrace who they are, ignite their spark, go after their goals and find their team - because no Lioness is complete without their pride. 
 
Are you ready to embrace your inner Lioness? 
 
Written with Sunday Times bestselling author Cheryl Rickman

Nikita was the WSL top goal scorer of all time in 2019-2020 - and when she was 11 there wasn't a girls' team so she set up her own and they went on to win the league!

A behind-the-scenes look into the life of a Lioness

Get ready to peek behind the scenes in this hilarious and not-so-secret diary from legendary Lioness Ella Toone. 
 
The Lionesses are heading into a big football tournament – and when I say big, I mean BIG. I’m so excited, but I’m nervous too. So my manager suggested I write all my feelings down in a diary. 
 
Now, I know a diary is meant to be top-secret, but I want to share this with YOU!So I’m going to write down EXACTLY what goes down behind the scenes - the highs, the lows and the funny bits in-between - from the training sessions, to the funny pranks us Lionesses play on each other, to the pre-match meals and the post-match celebrations. And I’ll squeeze in a load of flashbacks too ... I have far too many amazing memories to keep to myself!
