Brought to you by Puffin.

Enter the hilarious world of Billie Upton Green . . . The start of an exciting new series full of Billie's laugh-out-loud observations and doodles!

There is a new girl at Billie's school, and Billie takes it upon herself to show her around, teach her the Biscuit Laws, and remind her that yes, two women can get married (after all, Billie's mums' wedding is the event of the year).

But then suspicion sets in.

The new girl seems very close to Billie's best friend Layla. And doesn't she know a little too much about the latest big school heist - the theft of Mrs Robinson's purse...?

Reviews

A great book about a girls' football team - it's exciting, original and heart-warming

—— Jacqueline Wilson

A stunning and inspiring story that I raced through, cheering Jaz and her friends on as I read. Priscilla Mante is an author to watch.

—— Aisha Bushby, author of A Pocketful of Stars

An empowering read of friendship, family and football [...] that will encourage dreamers everywhere to shoot for the stars!

—— Maria Kuzniar, author of The Ship of Shadows

Exactly the book that my heart needed right now. It's an uplifting, fun celebration of girls in sport, and it's impossible not to root for Jaz and the rest of her team. I wish this book had been available when I was growing up!

—— Carlie Sorosiak, author of I, Cosmo

Sudanese-Australian activist Abdel-Magied's first novel is the sparkling tale of 13-year-old Layla, who moves to a new school, where she is the only pupil to wear a headscarf.
