| book description |

Celebrating cricket, Windrush families & girls in sport Kerry-Ann loves cricket â€“ of course she does! Her Jamaican grandpa taught her to play as soon as she could hold a bat. Whenever she can, Kerry-Ann heads to the local club with her friends. But now some of the club's elite cricketers want to make the club exclusive â€“ just for themselves â€“ and keep out Kerry-Ann and her team. So Kerry-Ann devises a daring plan to beat the bullies, and keep playing the game she loves. In this time-slip tale with a touch of magic, Kerry-Ann finds out about the obstacles that her grandparents faced when they first arrived in England as part of the Windrush generation...and how she must follow in their footsteps to fight for fair play, and to keep enjoying the game that is a part of her culture. A celebration of family, friendship, cricket, British Caribbean culture, Black British history and women's sport.
