Wimbledon is delighted to be featured in a new children’s book which aims to inspire more young people to get involved in tennis.
A Magical Racquet Ride: Journey to the Four Grand Slams of Tennis is the debut children’s book from former-professional tennis player-turned teacher Marissa Irvin Gould. This charming and beautifully-illustrated picture book takes readers on an adventure to New York, Paris, Melbourne, and of course Wimbledon as twins Nick and Molly discover the exciting world of tennis. The magical combination of fantasy and sport is aimed at encouraging the next generation of Grand Slam champions to pick up a racket and get out on the court.
The night after receiving tennis rackets for their birthday, Nick and Molly find themselves on an amazing adventure zooming around the globe aboard their new presents. As they visit each city they are immersed in the world of tennis and play at all four of the Grand Slam tournaments. Did it really happen or was it all just a dream...?
