Helena Pielichaty (pronounced Pierre-li-hatty) has written over thirty books for children. Her latest series, Girls FC, is set around a fictional girls' football team so she was delighted to be asked to write her first non-fiction book for HarperCollins on a subject close to her heart. Helena's auntie played women's football in the 1950s and her daughter played from the age of 9 to 26. Helena herself has never played football but was an enthusiastic, if inept, wing defence on her school netball team. Melanie Williamson won the Rothertham Children's Book Award and has been shortlisted for the Sheffield Award twice. Wolf's Magnificent Masterplan was selected by Bookaboo.
