The Fall and Rise of Jack Beasley

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Jack "Beast" Beasley has been dealt a tough hand in life: his family has been torn apart, and he's been left to pick up the pieces, with his younger sister Michelle. Only two factors keep Jack from throwing in the towel: his love for his sister and his passion for cricket. Jack must confront his own demons and battle against his own frustrations, his fiery temper, and pent-up anger, getting him into regular trouble at school and on the cricket field. Jack's dream is to be the best cricketer he can be, with aspirations of playing for the Richmond 1st X1, pushing through to first-class cricket and then his ultimate dream: wearing the famous Baggy Green cap and representing Australia as a test cricketer. In Taming the Beast, we follow Jack Beasley and the many ups and downs and twists and turns along his journey. Will all of Jack's hard work pay off? Will his determination prevail? Will he be able to placate his inner demons? Will he "tame the beast"?
