"He is one of the finest examples of a writer who can make humour stem from the things that really matter in life."
The Guardian
A young Aussie soccer genius and his 10-year-old manager take on the world. And win.
For a time.
When 13-year-old Matt is discovered impressing the livestock in an Aussie country town with his remarkable soccer skills, he's offered the chance of a lifetime – a try-out at one of Europe's biggest and most glamorous soccer clubs. His younger sister Bridie goes with him as his manager and tells us their story – warts, goals and all.
The funny and moving story of a sister's love for her brother, and how it survives everything fate throws at it, including the millions of pounds and mountains of pressure at the top of the world's most popular sport.
'Extra Time has award winning-author Morris Gleitzman’s familiar blend of humour and heart-tug ... fun, balanced by the tough times faced and hinted at.'
