Forward Line Freak

Nick has been named the captain of the Cobar Creek Crocs. It's a dream come true, but the pressure is intense.

He needs to get his team to work together, but they think he's a power-hungry monster. Only Nick's friends know that he's also turning into a real-life monster – and maybe he's not the only one.

Can they find out what's causing it all before it's too late to change Nick back?
