Über diesen Titel
Talented defender Eboni navigates balancing new friendships with her passion for football in this sensitively told tale from acclaimed author Eve Ainsworth.
Eboni’s decision to join the Lightmoor Lionesses has led to a falling-out with her closest friends on her old team. They feel betrayed and Eboni is frozen out at school.
Feeling isolated, she’s delighted when she forms a new friendship with popular Olivia, quickly realising they have loads in common. But there’s one problem. Olivia isn’t interested in football and can’t understand Eboni’s dedication to the sport that she loves.
Will Eboni stay true to herself or will she sacrifice her footballing dreams for friendship?
Particularly suitable for readers aged 9+ with a reading age of 8.

"As Eboni navigates the complex insecurities and ups and downs of new friendship, the narrative strikes a well-considered balance between identifying unhealthy relationship dynamics and normalising disagreement between friends … For sports fans, from the very first page, Eboni’s matches are narrated with vivid commentary. Immersed in the action, the reader experiences the highs, lows and tensions of each game alongside the protagonist … The balance between the thrilling action on the football field and Eboni’s emotional struggles off it provides a mix of tension and relief that is sure to keep readers engaged." — Children's Books Ireland
"This fourth instalment in the Lightmoor Lionesses series is packed with friendship drama, big feelings, and important choices. Eboni’s journey will resonate with so many children navigating changing friendships and finding their place … I love how it celebrates girls in sport while also handling tricky emotions with real care and honesty. It’s engaging, accessible, and perfect for readers starting to explore more complex themes. A fantastic addition for KS2 classrooms and a great one to recommend to young football fans or friendship-story lovers." — What The Teacher Reads, blog
