Coleen to release children’s book

Spice Girl Geri Halliwell and Coleen McLoughlin are set to battle it out – in the book charts.

The pair are both releasing novels early next year.

Ginger, 35, is working on 2 kids’ books, entitled Eugenia and Lavender.

And Coleen, 21, is also turning her hand to fiction for children.

Under the pen name Coleen Style Queen, the WAG will be scribbling her own tome.

‘It will centre on a fictional character inspired by McLoughlin’s childhood who faces fashion challenges along with the dilemmas posed by school, family, friends and boys,’ publishers HarperCollins tells The Guardian’s G2. A spokesman for Coleen said: “The children’s books are part of a deal which will go over several years.”
