Interested in football? Do you play football? Well, then you might enjoy the Specky Magee series. Twelve-year old Simon Magee is a huge Aussie Rules fan, in fact he's downright footy mad. He is a champion full-forward on the school football team and he has earned the name Specky as a result of the spectacular marks he takes. He's just loving life, except for the fact that his dad won't come and watch him play his favourite sport. Unfortunately, all his family hate the game which is why Specky is confused when he finds a photgraph of himself as a baby dressed in footy clothes. And...no-one wants to give him a straight answer when he inquires about this. There is a great website which goes with this series which is worth a visit:
http://www.speckymagee.com.au/This blog contains reviews and comments on children's books which I own, have read, and would like to share. I look for books at markets and opportunity shops. They are cleaned up, covered and read. Then I take them to the classroom for students to read. Students can borrow the books at any time. Many books are also from my personal library, especially the Youth Fiction. Students can preview some of them on this blog. Now, I am also on the lookout for great new releases for my grandson Archie.
