Geri Halliwell and Coleen McLoughlin ready to do battle

They’ll go head-to-head in the chlldren's book charts

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.

While Coleen has already written her autobiography, Geri reveals she decided to become an author after an injury put her out of action

‘I had put my back out and was stuck on the couch,’ she explains. ‘I had a massive amount of creative energy and love to write.

'I needed something to channel that energy. It’s time to hand on the baton of girl power through a different medium.’

Hmm…it could be the celeb battle of next year.
