Win a copy of Cooper Not Out by Justin Smith
A delightfully uplifting Australian novel about the unlikely underdog who finds himself in the Australian cricket team.
Set in the Australian summer of 1984 in the small town of Penguin Hill, 48-year-old Sergeant Roy Cooper is a country copper who opens the batting for his local cricket team. He’s overweight, makes very few runs and he’s not pretty to watch, but he’s a statistical miracle because he’s never been dismissed.
The story makes its way to Donna Garrett, a female sports columnist at a leading national newspaper who’s forced to write under a male pseudonym. Donna’s columns on Roy capture the imagination of a nation and soon there is pressure to select him for the national team who were having a particularly bad run.
You don’t need to be a cricket fan to adore this novel. Written with tongue-in-cheek humour, Cooper Not Out is a funny and heart-warming story that’s guaranteed to win fans of all ages. It is a moving and highly original tale about friendship and belief, and the joy of discovering your greatest potential.
