Truth was, he did not know anything about Australia except that it was a long way away, it was sunny, there were kangaroos, his friends were not there, and they called football soccer . What was there to look forward to about that? Edward Megs Morrison is starting at a new school. That's hard enough, but to do it in a foreign land makes it even more uncomfortable. At least Megs speaks the language ... sort of. Luckily, football is an international password, and football just happens to be something Edward Morrison loves -- but the school has no proper team, because no one is available to coach. Megs makes an unlikely friend of a quirky Hungarian school cleaner, but will he ever make friends his own age? Will he ever feel at home on the other side of the planet? And with no school team, how will Megs quench his thirst for competitive football? This is a story about persistence, dedication and overcoming obstacles. It's about making a difference whatever your background ... and it's about football.
