When Maddie's dad gets a new job in a town in Central West Queensland, she misses Brisbane: her home, her friends and most of all her football club. Here, there are only four teams in the entire district, and just one other female player. Plus, the team that she joins, The Numbats, have never won a game. But, while unsuccessful on the field, her teammates help Maddie adjust to her new life and she inspires them to their first ever win.

From the internationally bestselling author, Dave Lowe, comes the incredible story of 12 year old Maddie who feels like her dream of playing for the Matildas is over but the truth is, it's only just beginning.
