The engines roared and the plane raced down the runway. Without knowing it, Ozzie gripped the seat. Houses became matchboxes, trucks turned into toys, and like a sucker punch it hit him that there was no going back. He was leaving Pop, Jess, Johnno; the only place he'd ever known.' Ozzie knows what he loves: rugby league, the smell of his Pop's farm when it rains, and Jess. But when you become a high-school football star in Texas all this can slip away like a greasy football. When America wants you, it's hard not to want her back. From the author of the Alex Jackson series comes the story of a young man who goes to America as an exchange student, and learns just what it means to be an Australian. Recommended for 13-16 year olds who love great books. Released March 2006
