Cassandra Naseri and the Football Fantasy

Cassandra Naseri has one goal: to join the ranks of the Matildas, Australia’s national women’s football team.

But first, she must convince her family to care about football - using a few magical powers she has tucked up her sleeve. Along the way, Cassandra learns that self-belief is the greatest form of magic. But can she harness the strength of this power when game day finally dawns?

Aimed at children aged 7-10, the Football Fantasy edition of the Cassandra Naseri series, introduces children to themes of emotional resilience and regulation.
