The Flea Thing
By Brian Falkner
Funny, thrilling, action-packed books boys will devour.
Daniel wants to play rugby league for the New Zealand Warriors. The problem is he's only twelve years old. But Daniel has a secret, he has a "power" which enables him to move extraordinarily fast. He impresses the Warrior’s coach, convinces him to let him have a place on the side and becomes the youngest ever player to play for the Warriors! But life in the limelight isn’t all that Daniel expects it to be. As Daniel's career unfolds he and his family learn about friendship, fair play and what is most important to them.
- Great themes for boys -- featuring rugby, special powers and deals with bullying.
- Look out for other books about the "strange happenings" at Glenfield High.
- From an acclaimed New Zealand author!
