Everyone's got football fever!


The first book in an action-packed junior fiction series in partnership with Football Australia. Featuring Commbank Matildas and Subway Socceroos stars Sam Kerr, Ellie Carpenter, Mary Fowler, Rhyan Grant, Joel King - and more!

It's a new season for the Under 11s Merridale Fever! Kyra's the star striker and can't wait to meet the team's new recruit, Sam - all the way from England. But Sam has a secret - he's never played on a mixed team, and it's shaking his confidence. Will advice from some very special football superstars help Kyra and Sam join forces so the team can kick off the season with a bang, or will it end in disaster before it even begins?

Part of an expansive publishing program in the lead-up to the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023. hosted by Australia and New Zealand.
