A Football-Lover's Guide to Lionel Messi

Messi was Barcelona's star player and one of the world's best footballer players. But as a boy he stopped growing at 11 and coaches worried he wasn't big enough.

Discover the story of how Messi proved them wrong and how this boy from South America fought to become possibly the greatest football player of all time.

This biography is one of the new titles in Leapfrog's Tales from the Pitch series. These fast-moving reads offer a fresh take on the familiar football biography format.

Each book focuses on one up-and-coming football superstar, often players who are still to reach the summit of their career.

The players are from all walks of life and have faced failure, injury and rejection, making these moving and inspirational stories.

The books are brimming with football banter that will have the knowing fans smiling.

And each players story is littered with football tricks and tips, so readers can learn the arts of the glorious game.

At only 120 pages long, Tales from the Pitch are easy to read and very fast-paced reads. So, meet the footballers behind the iconic tackles and goals, and find out what makes each of these players so special.
