A compelling verse novel about sibling rivalry, sporting excellence and self-doubt from a fresh new Australian voice. Everyone says you couldn't get two brothers more different than Shaun and Toby. Toby struggles at school, has a stumbly, fumbly, bumbly body and thinks that Sports Day is the worst day of the year. No matter how hard he tries, he's not good at anything ... except running away from his 'big, better brother'. Shaun is top of his class and does everything first, better, best! He can't wait for Sports Day — D-Day for discus. But when his 'joke of a brother' is around, nobody notices the things Shaun can do. Will Toby and Shaun get on track before Sports Day? Told through the eyes of two very different brothers, On Track will have you cheering until the very end.
