"Yeah and we won, " I say. "That's what this fulla is scared of. Doesn't want to have his big boys beaten by four little girls." (p145)

Jamie Hunter is in Year 8, loves footy, her family and friends and tolerates school. She is the top-rated player in a mixed footy team as there are not enough females to make their own team. When the new girl, Stella, stands up to support Jamie in history class about teaching history with books written by Blakfullas, a friendship is born. They were on a roll to change a little bit of the world. Then Jamie gets banned from footy. Is it all worth it?
