Brown, Justin,1973-
Crows Nest, N.S.W. : Allen & Unwin,
2013.
It's a tale about Toby Gilligan-Flannigan, a boy who hates his name but loves his sport, the latter of which played a major role in my childhood. So did rewards for doing well. I only have to look at my daughter's face when she wins player of the day. From the sideline I've also witnessed bribery is alive and well. 'Max, pie for a try!' 'Olivia, movie ticket for a wicket!' With this novel, I wanted to take this theme to a new level. When Toby's old man offers his son the ultimate prize in return for playing well, class bully Malcolm McGarvy does his utmost to ruin the party.
For primary school age.
