Lucy Zeezou's family is famous for two things in Italy: football and fashion. Lucy's ambitious Australian mother wants her to model for the family's fashion label. Even worse, Lucy's father, the captain of Milan's premier team, agrees.

When she's banned from playing football, Lucy starts to lead a double life secretly joining an all-boys side. But things take a dramatic turn when Lucy has to move to Sydney.

Liz Deep-Jones is a published author, journalist, producer, presenter, film maker, curator and the inaugural Freilich Arts/Media and Activism Fellow at the Australian National University in Canberra. Her best-selling young adult novels, Lucy Zeezou's Goal and Lucy Zeezou's Glamour Game have been re-released for the upcoming 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. Liz is passionate about football as it breaks societal and race barriers and is a champion for human rights, inspiring young people to take action through her mentoring role at the ANU in media and arts activism. The proud Sydney-sider is travelling her We Bleed The Same anti-racism exhibition and documentary across Australia. She's also writing her third novel, hoping to inspire young readers to never give up on their dreams.
