Last Girl In: Kerry-Ann Fights to Stay in the Game

Kerry-Ann loves cricket - of course she does! Her Jamaican grandpa taught her to play as soon as she could hold a bat. Whenever she can, Kerry-Ann heads to the local club for a match with her friends. But now some of the club's elite cricketers want to keep the ground for themselves - and keep out Kerry-Ann and her team. So Kerry-Ann devises a daring plan to beat the bullies - and she's about to gain inspiration from a very unexpected place. In this time-slip tale with a touch of magic, Kerry-Ann finds out about the obstacles that her grandparents faced when they first arrived in England as part of the Windrush generation... and how she must follow in their footsteps to fight for fair play, and to continue enjoying the game that she and her grandpa both love. A celebration of family, friendship, cricket, British Caribbean culture, Black British history and women's sport. All children who like a fast-paced adventure story and particularly cricket fans will enjoy the cricketing theme of the story including thrilling detailed match descriptions. It also resonates with Black Caribbean families - supporting girls and boys to understand the importance of cricket to the Caribbean, and to their heritage. This is the perfect chapter book for ages 8+ to celebrate #Windrush75 - the 75th anniversary of the arrival of HMT Windrush - which is being celebrated in June 2023.
