Lwandle's Netball Dream - Book Description
Lwandle Khumalo has a big dream: to play netball for Orlando East High and become a star like her hero, Team Captain Thandi. But in Soweto, where money is tight and her sneakers are falling apart, chasing that dream isn't easy. With a sock stuffed with plastic bags as her ball and a rusty milk crate as her hoop, Lwandle practices every morning before the sun even rises.
When she finally gets a chance to try out, things don't go as planned-Thandi and the team make fun of her, and her borrowed shoes break mid-game. But with her family cheering her on and tough Coach Molefe pushing her to work harder, Lwandle refuses to give up. From facing bullies to a painful injury, she learns that heart and grit can take her further than talent alone.
Join Lwandle on her journey to the Gauteng Championships, where she'll discover what it really means to be a champion-on the court and in life. Perfect for young readers who love stories of courage, teamwork, and chasing dreams against all odds!
