'Girls will be galvanized to follow their dreams, break boundaries and play football!' SOUTH WALES EVENING POST

'... perfectly captured story of football and girls set during WW1. A historical novel not just for football fans.' ANGELS AND URCHINS

It’s 1917. Lily spends her days working in a munitions factory, her nights picking metal out of her hair, and her lunchtimes kicking a ball with her workmates.

Together they form a football team, the Rockets, and a league soon follows. But when the war ends, the girls lose both their jobs and their football.

Not Lily. If her only chance of being a goalie is to play with the men, then that’s what she’ll do ...

• Based on the true story of the original Arsenal Ladies' team, one of several female-only teams which formed during WW1, only to be met with a ban once the war ended
• Rebecca’s novels have been shortlisted for the Historical Association Young Quills Award and the Branford Boase Award
