Illustrated by Charles Yapeter.
Foreword by Pim Verbeek.
It's summer in Pennendale and the holidays are a haze of sunshine, flies, barbeques, trips, ice creams from the milk bar, ice creams at friends' houses and ice creams from the magical vans that drive around the streets playing music to entice young kids. But all that soon changes once Megs and the Vootball Kids start back at school, They're Year Six students, there's a new teacher and a new football season on the horizon – and the announcement of a representative team that will compete for the state titles.
Edward "Megs" Morrison's legendary dedication and tenacity are sternly tested in this instalment of the Megs series – and not just because he so desperately wants to beat his long-standing juggling record. Tougher trials are thrown his way and as he wallows in self-pity, his footballing dreams drift away.
Will Megs succumb to setback, or show courage and rise to the challenge? Can he adjust his attitude? Is it possible to live a life without football?
Megs & the Complete Left Foot is about appreciating that when life throws you a lemon... it's best to make lemonade.
Ages 9-11
