Description
Find out where it all began for Ellyse Perry, Australia's most prominent sportswoman! Meet Ellyse Perry, age 12. All she wants to do is play sports. Cricket, soccer, touch footy, athletics--you name it! But now that she's in high school, just playing sport and having fun doesn't seem so easy. For starters, her new school uniform is too big (as usual) and then there's a mix up with her electives and she has to do debating of all things! To top it off, mean Ms. Parkes won't let her on the school cricket team because she thinks Ellyse is too small. Could life be more unfair? Luckily there's still club cricket with the Hoppers! They're a sure bet to make the grand final and Ellyse can't wait to get out onto the pitch with her mate Jamie. Can Ellyse handle the challenges of high school and still find time for all her sporting pursuits?
