The second book in an action-packed junior fiction series in partnership with Football Australia. Featuring Commbank Matildas and Socceroos stars Sam Kerr, Ellie Carpenter, Mary Fowler, Rhyan Grant, Joel King, Tom Rogic – and more!
The Under 11s Merridale Fever decide to enter the Half-time Heroes competition so they can experience all the behind-the-scenes excitement at an upcoming Socceroos match and take to the field at half-time at Stadium Australia. To win, they must record a video: ‘What makes our team special.’ The only problem is, the Fever players all have different ideas about how they are special . . .
The off-field drama spills onto the pitch and what should be an easy-win game turns into a disaster! Maybe the team need to turn to their Matildas and Socceroos heroes for some inspiration. Can they find a way to work together to win the chance of a lifetime?
Part of an expansive publishing program in the lead up to the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup™ hosted by Australia and New Zealand.
