- Summary:
-
A grimy old ball, a racquet made from a wooden fruit box, a pair of borrowed shoes ... then the world at her feet. This is the story of how Evonne Goolagong Cawley rose from humble beginnings in an outback town to become a world-champion tennis player by the age of just 19. Sunshine Super Girl is a funny and poignant take on the life of a talented sportswoman with a big dream. Infused with a wry Australian sensibility and a proud sense of belonging, it's a story that will inspire and delight.
