This Specky Magee is the first book of the series (there are 7 books in the series) co-written by Felice Arena and Garry Lyon.
Simon ′Specky′ Magee is a twelve years old, Australian Rules football fanatic. He′s such a talented player he got his nickname ′Specky′ for taking ′spec-tacular′ marks. Not that anyone in his family would know - or care - about his ability.
When Specky finds a baby photo of himself dressed up in footy gear of a team he dislikes, he is completely confused. Why would his parents have done this when they hate footy so much? Who dressed him in those clothes, and why won′t his parents give him a straight answer when he asks them about it?
