Description

After a 5-0 demolition of Bayside Blues in Pennendale Primary's first real match, Megs was on cloud nine. Particularly after he bagged a hat-trick with half the school watching. But after scouring the papers for Val's report, he was disappointed to see that there were only a couple of lines in the Pennendale press next to the lawn bowls section and above an ad for Barb and Pete's Bloomin' Great Nursery. Not quite the big time Megs was expecting, it must be said. But Megs' competitive spirit would soon be tested when his Wanderers team discover that a major prize awaits the year's champions. And things become even more heated after Pennendale's arch rivals hatch a mean-spirited campaign to ensure things are made even more difficult for the new team on the block. Will the 'Vootball Kids' band together in the face of adversity? Will Megs remain focused on football whilst having to face some spiky issues at home? And what lessons in life will the game teach them all this time around? Megs, Scarves & Sombreros is about dealing with racism, overcoming obstacles, and striving for shared goals. Oh yeah...and there's also new tricks, bags of fun, and plenty of football action along the way!
