The second instalment in the Little Isaac Footy Fever series builds beautifully on the first, and my son was thrilled to find out there was a follow-up waiting for him.

Game On keeps up the same warm, encouraging tone, following Isaac as he keeps growing in confidence both on and off the field. What I love about this series is that it’s not just about footy. It’s about teamwork, resilience and having a go, which are lessons that go well beyond the oval. It’s become a firm favourite in our house, and

I’d say it’s a brilliant pick for any young reader who dreams of running out onto the SCG one day (or just wants a book that finally holds their attention).

Game On: Little Isaac Footy Fever 2 by Isaac Heeney and Nicole Hayes  is available now from Allen & Unwin and major retailers for $16.99.
