'It isn't just a match,' he snapped. 'It's a battle we have to win! Don't you get it? Reputation and tradition are at stake here.'

When Specky leaves his beloved Booyong High, he's torn between his old friends and his new team-mates. And his loyalty will be tested – on the field and off – because when he crosses that white line, Booyong becomes his enemy . . . And Gosmore Grammar expects nothing less than absolute loyalty from their new star student.

Specky prepares to play a vital part in the school's most revered sporting event – the Boots of Glory football match. But will his need to solve a mystery at the school put his footy future in jeopardy?

Could the Boots of Glory be the most important footy match he has ever played?
