This book will be a hit with sports loving students.
Stephanie Chiocci is the captain of the AFLW team Collingwood, but can she use her footy skills to win the Cooper’s Hill Cheese Chase? She is up against a feisty and sneaky opponent, and Stephanie has never raced a cheese wheel down a hill before!
Stephanie has answered a call for help from one of her biggest fans, and now finds herself on the other side of the world, trying to save the fan’s family cheese business. To do so though, she must beat Neville O’Shea. It is going to call on all her football experience, skill and determination to win this one.
