'Name: Simon 'SPECKY' Magee

'Age: 13

'Code: Australian Rules Football

'Team: Booyong High Lions, Under 14's

'Position played: Star forward. Known for his SPEC-tacular marking ability and for kicking plenty of goals.

What to expect this season: Specky comes face to face with a tough, talented player by the name of Derek 'Screamer' Johnson. He was responsible for having Specky sent off during a game last season. The two boys become bitter rivals and when a popular TV show runs a nationwide football contest, Specky is relieved when everyone except Screamer decides to enter. But why is Screamer such a bully on the field? And why is he sucking up to Specky's team-mates?

Guaranteed highlights: Incredible footy action by Specky, a surprise trip and the introduction of some terrific new friends.

Question on everyone's lips: A true champion in the making, but is Specky good enough to win the Great Footy Contest?' (Publication summary)

Specky Magee and the Season of Champions, Felice Arena , Garry Lyon , single work children's fiction children's

'Simon 'Specky' Magee and his Under 14s football team, the Booyong High Lions, return to battle out the second half of their league's season. The Lions are playing well and Specky's form is looking good – perhaps good enough to win a scholarship to a prestigious sporting school. But a knee injury sees him sidelined, and suddenly his future is filled with uncertainty. Will his team make it to the finals without him? Will he be able to play if they do? And how is he going to impress the talent scout if he can't play footy? Meanwhile, he'll have to deal with his rival and worst enemy, Screamer Johnson, and he will meet the mysterious Tiger Girl and the Great McCarthy.' (Publication summary)
