Gracie Faltrain Gets it Right (Finally) by Cath CrowleyNot having read the first two books in this series—The Life and Times of Gracie Faltrain and Gracie Faltrain Takes Control—could be seen as a somewhat of a hindrance when reviewing the latest offering.Published 11 June, 2008 
Gracie Faltrain Gets it Right (Finally) (Cath Crowley, Pan Macmillan, $16.95 pb, ISBN 9780330423939, May) **** Not having read the first two books in this series—The Life and Times of Gracie Faltrain and Gracie Faltrain Takes Control—could be seen as a somewhat of a hindrance when reviewing the latest offering. Not so, as the characters are immediately likeable and the storyline easy to follow. Gracie (or just ‘Faltrain’ as she is known by her friends) is now in Year 12 and needs to get her head down and bum up and seriously study. However, the lure of her greatest love, soccer, is ever present. The state trials are coming up and she has high hopes of making it into the Matildas one day.
