Anna Black: This Girl Can Play

The fourth novel from author Texi Smith tells the story of Anna Black, a product of suburban Sydney's large grassroots soccer clubs who blossoms into being a local star turning out for Australia's biggest W-League clubs, and a regular starter with the Matildas. 'Anna Black - This girl can play' charts Anna's football journey culminating in the Matildas reaching the final of the 2023 World Cup on home soil and a move to the USA, as well as her life journey as she discovers that falling head-over-heels - something she thought was not for her - can and does happen. There are also a few surprises as you read, but we don't want to spoil them by sharing it here.
