At long last it seems our female sporting stars are getting some recognition. Women’s team sports are being televised and of course, our brilliant Ash Barty has done and is doing so much to raise the profile of successful sporting women.

So this book is particularly timely to encourage the Mighty Girls in your readership to focus on their preferred sport – whether as an enthusiastic amateur, potential professional or simply for general health and fitness.

Eighteen individuals and teams feature in spreads which face text offering a provocation to the reader as to what sport they might like to try out encompassing a wide variety of possibilities such as soccer, running, BMX, horse riding, sailing, tennis, surfing, golf (yayy!) and more. In short, something to suit every young girl who may be wondering what sport would suit them most.

Whether you already have some girls keen on their physical activity or you are planning to encourage them to have a go, or perhaps you are  undertaking an inquiry into inspirational Australians, this is going to be a definite for  your collection.

Highly recommended for readers from around 8 years upwards.
