A junior fiction series about an up-and-coming cricketer who is mentored by Australian cricket star Glenn Maxwell.

Talented young batsman Will Albright has earned himself a place at the brand-new T20 Youth Academy. But, in order to prove himself worthy of playing for Victoria, he will first have to face everything the academy can throw at him – including more bone-rattling bouncers from his archenemy, Darren ‘Killer’ McKinnon. To make things even more challenging, Will must compete with his best mate, Shavil, for the highly sought-after opening batsman spot.

Can Australian T20 all-rounder Glenn Maxwell help Will adjust his game and earn a spot on the state team without losing his friend or his head?

Glenn Maxwell

Glenn Maxwell is one of Australia's most promising young cricket players. At just 26 years of age he is a fixture of the Australian One Day International and T20 sides, and has featured in the Australian Test team. Glenn is a big-hitting batsman who can also bowl a handy off spin. With a fine catch and a lethal arm, Glenn has also established himself as one of the top fielders in the game.

Glenn was awarded Most Valuable Player in the 2014 Indian Premier League season as well as recently being named Australia's Twenty20 Player of the Year for 2014. Glenn was born in Kew, Victoria and is busy playing cricket in Australia and overseas.

Praise for Glenn Maxwell 2: Academy All-Stars

Easily read, interesting even for a bystander but I imagine riveting for young players, the Glenn Maxwell books should prove wildly popular.
