'This story is about Damo, a kid who dreams about playing for the mighty Big River Hawks. But there’s one thing holding him back… he’s absolutely hopeless at footy! That all changes when a giant grey kangaroo scratches him under the eye and knocks him out. Damo wakes up to discover he can jump up really high in the air (like a kangaroo!) to take ‘speckys’, and kick gigantic torpedo punts straight through the goals. He is stoked, but soon discovers that being the most talented player, doesn’t always make you the best player.' (Publication summary)
