When Maddie’s dad gets a new job in a town in Central-West Queensland, she misses Brisbane: her home, her friends and – most of all – her football club. Here, there are only four teams in the entire district, and just one other female player. Plus, the team that she joins, The Numbats, have never won a game. But, while unsuccessful on the field, her teammates help Maddie adjust to her new life – and she inspires them to their first ever win. From the internationally bestselling author, Dave Lowe, comes the incredible story of 12-year-old Maddie who feels like her dream of playing for the Matildas is over – but the truth is, it’s only just beginning. Key Learning: Persistence, practise and perserverence lead to success in sport and in life.
