The Don is my hero because he is the greatest batsman in the world. Dad says
all Australians are proud of The Don, even those who don’t normally follow
cricket. He says The Don is an inspiration to everyone, because whenever he
gets a big score, people smile and forget about their troubles.
There are lots of troubles that Victor and his family would like to forget.
It is the Great Depression, and Victor’s dad has lost his job. But despite
their struggles, Victor not only gets to see Don Bradman in action, he
even meets him! With the England cricket team coming to Australia,
Victor knows it’s going to be a great season. But England has some nasty
surprises in store that the Australians—and Victor—will never forget.
SALES POINTS:
• New refreshed cover and title for this re-release of a favourite My
Australian Story (in print as Our Don Bradman since 2006).

• A heart-warming story highlighting how sport united a nation in

Australia’s greatest batsman.

You know the story—or do you? Cady Heron grew up home-schooled in
Africa with scientist parents as her teachers, monkeys as her classmates
and the African plains as her playground. But when her family moves to
the suburbs of Illinois, she finds herself a stranger in a strange land: high
school. With no prior research to guide her, Cady’s forced to figure out
North Shore High all on her own. Suddenly she finds herself sucked into
Girl World as a new member of the social elite dubbed ‘The Plastics’.
Cady discovers that unlike the wild, Girl World doesn’t have any rules—
especially when you maybe, possibly, okay definitely, have a giant crush on
their ruthless leader’s ex-boyfriend. Turns out, life in high school might be
even more brutal than a showdown on the Savannah.
Based on the screenplay by Tina Fey, this retelling of the cult classic film
includes tons of extra, never-before-seen bonus content.
