' Billy Mackenzie is an 11-year-old footy fanatic. He knows all there is to know about 'the greatest game of all' except for one thing - what it's like to play.
Billy's mum, worried her son might be hurt, won't let him play footy with his best mate, Torro.
But with a few trick moves and a couple of sidesteps, Billy eventually manages to get his shot playing the sport he loves with the Bayside Pelicans.
The question is, has he got what it takes to win over his new teammates and chase his dreams.' (Publisher's blurb)
