Description
Winner - Maskew Miller Longman 2017 Literature Awards. Mickey has no cricket kit and his mom, a single parent, cannot afford a new one. He goes reluctantly to a charity shop where he buys a secondhand kit.
Winner - Maskew Miller Longman 2017 Literature Awards. Mickey has no cricket kit and his mom, a single parent, cannot afford a new one. He goes reluctantly to a charity shop where he buys a secondhand kit. The charity shop owner suggests that the initials 'JK' on the bat mean that the bat belonged to Jacques Kallis. Mickey finds that he plays extraordinarily well with this bat and begins to believe that it is a 'magic' bat.
The coach wants to take Mickey to the district trials where he'll be the youngest player. But disaster strikes when Mickey leaves his bat behind by mistake: he has to face playing without his magic bat.
"Both boys and girls will relate to the theme of overcoming odds - and realising that a cricket bat can't make the magic happen. The hands that hold it do the work. Mickey learns a lot in the course of this heart-warming story.
Teen readers will love it." Lesley Beake, judge of the MML Literature Award
