Book description
The stuff legends are made of! It's a few weeks before the finals and
Coach Wallace has to go overseas, but he leaves the Rovers in the hands
of a new coach. He's keen, charming and knows his stuff. But with
winning being the only thing he cares about, his coaching methods lead
to bitter divisions and a game that is no longer fun. When Lil's brother
arrives home from playing for the state team, he helps the Rovers devise
a plan to get them back on track. But will he be able to save them total
collapse? Time is running out and he's their only hope. Having always
been short and a bit of a coward, Deborah Abela dreamed of being braver
and stronger, which is probably why she writes books about spies,
ghosts, soccer legends and characters good with swords who take on sea
monsters and evil harbour lords. She is the author of the Max Remy
Superspy series, Jasper Zammit (Soccer Legend) series, Ghost Club
series, The Remarkable Secret of Aurelie Bonhoffen and Grimsdon. She's
won awards for her books but mostly hopes, one day, to be as brave as
the characters inside.
