Specky Magee and the best of oz
From ages 9-16
Specky Magee was selected to go on the all
Australian team, to travel to Ireland and play Gaelic football. Gaelic football
is way out of Specky’s comfort zone because he is so used to playing the sport
he loves, Footy.
But the trip isn’t all luxury, because back
at his home there are two girls wanting to date him, their names are Samantha
and Christina. They put pressure on him by saying he has to make the decision
by the time he gets back; as if that’s enough pressure to put on him mind. The
pressure of being a goal keeper for their team makes him want to put down the
offer of being goalkeeper for Manchester United. Recently he was offered to
trial for goalkeeper as Manchester United.
Trying to get used to a round ball is sure
a difficulty in playing the game that the Irish love dearly, but they won’t
give up as they play the most important game of their life. If they lose they
will let down the team and Australia, but if they win, they will be the most
proud kids anyone could know. That is what’s going through their minds over and
over again, and that makes them more determined to beat the Irish on their home
ground.
I don’t normally like reading at all but
when I started to read the Specky Magee series I couldn’t wait to get home and
read. So when I read the first book there was no stopping me, I’ve now got the
whole series which I’ve read twice and There is not one series that is as
exciting as Specky Magee. If you like Football, reading and inspiration this is
the book for you.
