'Play Like a Girl is a celebration of Aussie girls kicking goals in the sport they love! This trailblazing new series is proudly brought to you in partnership with the AFLW. Tori LOVES playing AFL with the Milly West Flyers, but she hasn't kicked a goal in four years of playing footy! Written by radio personality Jo Stanley with humour and fun, Play Like a Girl weaves the ordinary world of young girls with the thrill and excitement of AFL. Each book focusses on one girl and her experiences playing footy and her general life of friends, school, hanging out at the shops, and being a good sport. The football, essentially, is the scaffolding of the books, but they?ll be relatable to all readers, regardless of whether or not they?re footy mad (or just joining in the zeitgeist). The series begins with the coming together of the new Millsborough West Youth Girls Football Team. The Flyers will bring 18 girls together, from different schools, different backgrounds and with differing skills and footy experience, all under the kind but eccentric leadership of their coach Shawna McKinnon, whose team building and training methods seem weird and often hilarious to the girls. The Milly West Flyers are a true reflection of the suburb they live in. Of the 18 that join to make up the full side, 6 girls bond quickly, and it?s these 6 girls that the series focuses on. Each book is told from the perspective of one of these 6, all with a very different take on footy.'  (Publication summary)
