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 ...
