In "I Really Want to Win" the school sports day is coming up and the little girl is doing everything she can to mentally and physically prepare herself to win every event.
Of course, even if you're a superhero mighty girl character, winning isn't as easy as it looks - and when another little girl seems to march off with all the honours, it's almost impossible to be sporting about it - or is it?
Perhaps there's a friend to be made - and is winning at sport as important as all that when you're a master baker who can bake the most amazing cakes?
There are so many neat little touches in this book just like there were in its predecessor with loads of brilliantly busy illustrations (including some truly awesome superhero cameos if you look very closely!) and a story that so many girls and boys will readily identify with (we know only too well what it's like when C is faced with the prospect of her own school sports day and how much effort she puts in, despite her PE teachers always playing favourites with certain other kids!)

Sum this book up in a sentence: A brilliant book with a neat moral message about trying your hardest, and perhaps focusing on what makes you special rather than trying to be an expert in everything all at once.
