Season of the Roses

$56⁹⁹

Dazzling to the eye, Season of the Roses is at once a deeply felt coming-of-age story and an inspirational rallying cry for young women living in a "man's world".

Description

Banding together, the Roses come up with a longshot plan - battle the men's team in a winner-takes-all match. Do Barbara and the Roses have what it takes to save their season?

Inspired by the author's experiences, Season of the Roses is an authentic portrayal of a teenager at a crossroads. Her dazzling illustrations, drawn in colourful felt-tip pens, encompass the thrills of playing soccer as well as the angst of navigating life off the field.

In Season of the Roses, soccer isn't just a game - it's all about self-discovery, making bold choices, and standing up to sexism and injustice.
