Description:

Part of The Greatest Cricket Stars series, this engaging biography for young readers tells the story of one of England's very best batters. Joe Root's cricketing journey began close to home, practising with his brother while their father played the game — a love of cricket that ran right through the family. From those early days, his path to the top was filled with ups and downs, but one thing never changed: his unshakeable determination to turn things around and win for his team. Even when matches grew tough and the pressure mounted, Joe stayed calm, stayed strong, and always found a way to succeed, performing on the biggest stages all over the world. Bright, colourful illustrations by Ludovic Salle bring his remarkable career vividly to life. An inspiring tale of perseverance, resilience, and team spirit, perfect for budding cricketers and young sports fans alike.
