Soccer superstar, Frank Lampard, is taking on a new career as author by releasing his first ever series of children’s books.
The series will follow the adventures of a young boy named Frankie and his (mis)adventures with his soccer teammates. The first book in the trilogy is called FRANKIE’S MAGIC FOOTBALL: FRANKIE VS. THE PIRATE PILLAGERS. In it, Frankie and his teammates are transported to a magical world where they must be the Pirate Pillagers in order to return home.
Lampard came up with the idea to write books when reading stories to his own young children. “Sport and reading are two essentials for us at home, so I decided to make up my own football stories and adventures,” he stated. Lampard based most of the characters in the book on people and friends he’s met throughout his career in the sports industry.
