Texi Smith's fourth 'unashamed football novel' takes a detour from Jarrod Black and introduces us to Jarrod's younger sister, Anna.

A product of suburban Sydney's large grassroots clubs, Anna blossoms into being a local star turning out for Australia's biggest W-League clubs and a regular starter with the Matildas. 

Anna Black - This girl can play charts Anna's football journey culminating in the Matildas reaching the final of the 2023 World Cup on home soil and her move to the USA. It also charts her life journey as she discovers that falling head-over-heels - something she thought was not for her - can and does happen.

There are also a few surprises as you read, but we don't want to spoil them by sharing it here.

We recommend this novel as suitable for a Young Adult audience.
