Series: The Academy

From the playground to the premier league, Leo K. Doyle has dodged and dribbled his way to football stardom...but is he prepared to represent his country at the Cup of Nations?

Leo has become a star in the Youth Premier League and one of the brightest young players in the world.

But he faces his greatest challenge yet when he joins his junior national team and tries to lead an underdog football squad from the United States to victory in the greatest tournament of all for his age group- the U15 Cup of Nations.

Unlike the Lewisham Knights, Leo's national team doesn't have a roster full of Premier League talent. Plus the team has terrible chemistry and very little time to improve.

The stakes have never been higher. The United States is the host nation, and the pressure is on to make a good showing. Can Leo become a true leader and bring his team together?

Or will they flame out in the group stage and disappoint their country?

The inspiring, action-packed fifth book in The Academy series is perfect for young readers 7-13 and for sports fans of all ages.
