From the brilliant author-illustrator Louise Forshaw comes this hilarious comic-book series for readers aged 6+, all about a unicorn and his unique football team. 

This graphic novel series is a firm favourite for young readers gearing up for independent reading: it's got big, bold text and black-and-white illustrations throughout. The books follow the many football adventures of Hoof the Unicorn, who joins the Bad United team. The team is made up of so many interesting characters, including a skeleton, dinosaur and cheetah, who work together with all their strength, skill, speed (and stench!) to show everyone what they've got...

This super and silly graphic novel series is perfect for fans of The Bad Guys and Nothing to see Here Hotel. For more books in this space, do also check out our blog post on the best graphic novel series for readers aged 5 and 6
