Description
Twelve-year-old Simon Magee is the biggest Aussie Rules fan ever. Some might say he’s footy mad. He’s a champion full-forward on the school footy team, but his friends call him ‘Specky’ because of his awesome talent at taking spec-tacular marks. Life couldn’t be better for Specky – except for one thing. He yearns for his dad to watch him play the game he loves so much. Unfortunately, his father — and the rest of his family — hate footy. In fact, they can’t stand it! Which is why Specky is so confused when he discovers a photo of himself as a baby dressed up in footy clothes. Who dressed him in those clothes? And why won’t his parents give him a straight answer when he asks them about it? Specky’s quest for the truth throws his world into a spin. Determined to find an explanation, he discovers something that causes him to question those he loves most.
