So what have you been reading lately Samoa?

I've been reading a book called the Secret Game plan written by Maria Samuela 

Tell us who the characters are?

There is a girl named Mata, she likes to play rugby, and her one wish is to win one game against a boy called Sami and his friends. 

Why does she want to win against them?

That’s Because the boys in Mata’s class, kept calling the girls useless, and so the girls wanted to prove them wrong. 

Tell us more about the Book?

Well while Mata was in class she wrote a secret game plan at the back of her writing book. She leaped over to whisper to Nga, saying Training at lunchtime.

It doesn’t really matter what kind of gender you are, just know that you should not let anyone or anything stand in your way?
