Description
Little Bont and the Big Secret by Megan Higgins, Marcus Bontempelli, and Fiona Harris is a delightful tale that will capture the hearts of young readers.
Marcus absolutely, positively LOVES footy. But there's something he loves even more than footy... his Nanna Nancy!
Nanna is always there for Marcus. So when Marcus accidentally kicks his football into Nanna Nancy's favourite garden gnome, he panics! Owning up to his mistake might land him in trouble. But lying to his Nanna doesn't feel so good, either...
From Western Bulldogs' captain and three-time team Best & Fairest winner Marcus Bontempelli comes a heartwarming story about honesty, family... and of course, a little bit of footy.

About the Author
Marcus Bontempelli is a professional footballer who grew up in Melbourne. Now the Captain of the Western Bulldogs, Bontempelli is the youngest player in AFL history to have captained a Grand Final-winning team, and the three-time All-Australian, three-time Charles Sutton Medal (best & fairest) winner has a host of other awards and accolades under his belt from his seven-year professional career so far. His debut picture book, co-written with Fiona Harris, is a celebration of Marcus's beloved late Nanna Nancy, who was always his biggest fan.
Megan is originally from Ohio, but has spent most of the last decade living in Villach, Austria where she works as an art and design teacher. Megan loves playing video games, Zelda being her favourite. She also loves paddle boarding, skiing and petting cute dogs and cats.
