Ozzie is an 18-year-old country boy who leaves Australia for a six-month stint in Texas America, as an exchange student. A star rugby league player, it doesn t take long for Ozzie to shine on the (American) football field but with his winning move - The Line Formation - comes an unexpected price. Ozzie learns it is too easy to let success go to his head and remaining true to himself will take courage and strength.
'The Line Formation' is a fast-paced sports-action novel; it is a page-turner for mid-teens, particularly boys. And on a deeper level, the novel addresses themes such as culture and identity, teenage sexuality, the American dream, and the true nature of success.
