The first book in a super and silly graphic novel series for newly independent readers aged 5+
“This is one for reluctant readers, football-mad sports fans, graphic novel obsessives - and anyone who has ever found their talents underappreciated! With an important message about inclusivity and the importance of taking part, Bad United is a brilliant new graphic novel series that will have kids laughing out loud and begging for more.”
~Emily
All Hoof the Unicorn wants to do is be part of a football team but his club never appreciated his talents and kicked him out. Then he spots an advert for BAD UNITED and he feels a tingling in his hooves. A chance to be part of a team again! A chance to play the game he loves! And a chance to show off his skills…
Hoof is thrilled to find his new teammates are more than up for the challenge. Led by enthusiastic mermaid coach Sirena Wingmer, the team consists of: Bones, their skeleton captain who sometimes struggles to keep her head; Rex, the ROARsome dinosaur defender; cheetah striker Bolt brings the thunder; Tinkerball dazzles with her magic fairy moves and Annette guards the goal with her life (and eight spider legs). All deemed “not good enough” to play for their teams (who decides what’s “good” anyway?!), BAD UNITED combine strength, skill, speed and stench to show everyone what they’ve got…
