Twelve-year-old Emmie is working to raise money for a tricked-out wheelchair to get serious about WCMX (wheelchair motocross), when a wipeout on a rickety ramp throws her plans into a tailspin. Instead of replacing the ramp, her school provides her with a kind but unwelcome aide - and, seeing a golden media opportunity, launches a public fundraiser for her. Emmie loves her close-knit rural town, but she can't shake the feeling that her goals suddenly aren't hers anymore. With the help of her best friends, Emmie makes a plan to get her dreams off the ground - and show her community what she wants, what she has to give, and how ready she is to do it on her own terms.

Kerry-Ann Taylor loves cricket. It's in her blood - in the 1950s her grandad arrived in England from Jamaica with just two things: a box of vinyls and his precious cricket bat. Whenever she can, Kerry-Ann heads to her local ground for matches, practise, and fun with her best friend Amardeep. But now there's a problem. Some of the older players - who think they own the place - have found a way to exploit new club rules to stop Kerry-Ann and her friends from using the ground. And the rule changes state that next season the over 13s team will be strictly boys only ... meaning no matches for Kerry-Ann. But Kerry-Ann is determined to carry on playing cricket with her friends. So she devises a daring plan to stay in the game she loves. And unbeknown to her, she's about to get some help via her grandad's precious cricket bat - which has a lot more to it than meets the eye ...
