Crusader and Waata from Room 17 review the perfect book in the Rugby World Cup year - "My Dad, the All Black".
As New Zealand gears up for total rugby fever, these boys from Room 17 bring this classic from Sandy MacKay back to KPE.
Will McCann, 12 years old, is a top notch rugby player. Everybody says he gets his talent from his famous All Black father, but Will never knew his dad. After a game goes wrong, Will wonders if he plays rugby because he loves the game, or because everybody says he should?
When Will's grandad dies, Will meets Jim, his reclusive uncle with a troubled past. Why has Uncle Jim stayed away from Will and his mum for so many years? What really happened the night Will's dad died? While, on the other side of the world, the All Blacks battle for the 1999 Rugby World Cup, Will battles to discover the truth about the past. He eventually unlocks a secret that helps him decide things for himself.
Anyone who ever wanted to be an All Black should read this book!
Hi Waata and Crusader,
ReplyDeleteI really liked your podcast because it had alot of feeling and emotion,the sad bit is how the woman died in the car crash because of the brother that was drunk.
