This Season’s Draft by Jason Gent – Our Review

Our Review…

The lead up to the AFL draft is filled with anticipation as the dedicated young athletes pursue the dreams and aspirations, the crescendo of the many years of dedication and sacrifice.

Set over the four seasons in a year, this young adult novel follows the lives of six teenagers whose world is footy in one way or another.

From Elias, who is a team player who loves running, to best mates and top players Zac and Fletcher. There’s Mason, who trains with his dad to immortalise his dreams, and Dane who loves footy but is an average boyfriend to Beth. Speaking of Beth – Beth is in the middle of an identity crisis as she wonders who she is without a boy.

This Season’s Draft is engaging, timely and emotive, it would make a fabulous gift for any sports lover. Wonderfully written, this would also make a great gift for a teen who may not be a confident reader.

A fresh new coming of age story to mark your September!
