The success of the mighty Lionesses (🤞for Sunday) reminded us of one of our favourite literary footballers, Lily Dodd. Previously nominated for the #CheshireSchoolsBookAward, Rebecca Stevens's #LilyAndTheRockets is a sparky & empowering story, sure to inspire young footie fans!

All the footballing Lily’s and Polly’s and Dorothy’s and Mary’s from WW1 would be so amazed and proud to see this day!

Well done the #Lionessess !

I'm on BBC Radio Sussex tomorrow at about midday talking about my middle-grade novel Lily and the Rockets - and how much things have changed for female footballers since Lily's time!
