Unless you’ve been hiding underneath a rock, you’ll know that the Football World Cup in South Africa has started. There’s soccer all over the news and on the TV and even somebody like me who isn’t really a sporty person can’t help but be excited.
There are lots of books in the library on soccer, from books teaching you how to play to stories about kids who love the game. New Zealand author Michelle Cox, a former New Zealand representative soccer player, writes books about a girl called Sammy who loves playing soccer. Check out our selection of soccer books, magazines and DVDs:

I’m really looking forward to the All Whites game on Tuesday. I’m old enough to have watched the All Whites in the last World Cup in 1982. My daughter and I have started reading a football series called The Beautiful game and for all you girls who play, they are aimed at you. All the lead characters are girls!
Go the All Whites !!!!!!!!!!!
