Description
A footy adventure story based on Ash Johnson's life by award-winning authors Carl Merrison and Hakea Hustler. Jy Goes for Gold (Book 1) was a CBCA Notable book in 2025. I reach out and snatch the footy ... I sense where the goals are... I position myself, put the ball on my boot for a snap kick and it sails through the goals. It's my FIRST GAME in AFL and I just scored my FIRST GOAL. I've made it.
