Everyone thinks Brody's life must be great - she's a child model and is respected and admired by all the kids at school. But her smile covers up a lot of heartache at home, and the After School Club is the only place where she can really be herself and have some fun. This is a major new series which is being launched with two titles, with two more to follow. The Government's aim is that by 2003 out of school places for 865,000 children will have been created, with the number of After School Clubs set to be around 20,000. This series contains collectible books - each one features a different character from the After School Club. Author has also written three Simone titles for this age range which have currently sold over 40,000 copies in the UK alone. "Simone's Letters" was nominated for the Carnegie Medal and "Simone's Diary" was chosen as a World Book Day recommended read.

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.
