Following the death of her mother, Anna Flowers and her father Ken move to the new town of Peppersalt, leaving behind friends, school, and everything they know. The only family members in Peppersalt are Anna's boring Aunt Gladys and the eccentric Nana Bessie.
Anna soon discovers she's really good at netball. The only problem is that the school bully Michelle -- whose father is Ken's nasty new boss -- is the netball captain.
However, with the help of her grandmother, who used to play netball for Australia, and her group of friends, known as the misfits, Anna is determined to silence Michelle and become a netball star.
'Anna Flowers and the Goal Defence Bully' is targeted at children, and girls in particular, aged 10-15. It will give young children a unique perspective on netball and the obstacles of growing up in a new environment.
