Lizzie loves to talk about netball. So why don't her teammates want to listen?


Review

This series is a fabulous for emerging readers, with each one centred around a different sport. But sport plays second fiddle to the lessons that are very subtly taught along the way.


For Lizzie, netball is her sport. It is what she loves and she would love to be a coach one day. But Lizzie teammates do not like the way that she talks to them. She is always telling them what to do and making them feel bad.


So when Lizzie discovers that she has been left out of the team get-together, she shuts down completely.


Can she find a balance between helping and encouraging her friends, without hurting their feelings?


Junior readers will enjoy this story.
