Bernard Beagle

Bernard Beagle is back! Join all your favorite characters, along with some new faces, in this action-packed second episode from author Daniel Murphy. Bernard Beagle is living his dream, he's made the school soccer team, he's made some friends and he's scoring goals. But, three games into the season, Mum and Dad deliver some Earth-shattering news, the Beagles are moving back to Brisbane. That's not the only problem. Somehow, the opposition seem to know the Tidal Waves' tactics and Maya Dane is wearing her hair in pigtails. Not to mention that witch across the road is still doing magic tricks. With just four weeks to say goodbye to Woodland Bay, Bernard must come up with a plan to stay in town before his career as a Tidal Wave comes to an abrupt end.

Bernard Beagle dreams of playing soccer for his school team. There is just one problem - he is terrible at sports. Cody Fisher, captain of the Bayview Primary Tidal Waves, is Bernard's one-way ticket to the midfield. But following his dream won't be easy. There's a savage dog on the loose in Woodland Bay and Sadie Button is wearing her hair in pig tails. Not to mention that witch across the road is doing magic tricks again. As Bernard pushes for qualification it becomes obvious - he's going to need a lot more than Cody's friendship to make the squad.

Bernard Beagle is training harder than ever before. Winter has, arrived and only six more games of the Bayview Tidal Waves' record-breaking season remain. But, right before school holidays, the unthinkable happens, Captain Cody is carted off the field in an ambulance. That's not the only problem. Stormy weather is threatening to derail the Tidal Waves' challenge for the regional title and the team's new goalkeeper hasn't made a single save. Not to mention there might be two witches living across the road. Just seven points from top position, Bernard must draw on everything he has learned to lead the Tidal Waves to the ultimate prize, a place in the State Cup.
