AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'A compelling verse novel about sibling rivalry, sporting excellence and self-doubt from a fresh Australian voice.
'Everyone says
you couldn’t get
two brothers more
different than
Shaun and Toby.
'Toby struggles at school, has a stumbly, fumbly, bumbly body and thinks that Sports Day is the worst day of the year. No matter how hard he tries, he’s not good at anything... except running away from his ‘big, better brother’.
'Shaun is top of his class and does everything first, better, best! He can’t wait for Sports Day — D-Day for discus. But when his ‘joke of a brother’ is around, nobody notices the things Shaun can do.
'Will Toby and Shaun get on track before Sports Day?' (Publication summary)
