Perfect for you if...

You love underdog sports stories where the main character has to earn respect through grit, not just natural ability.
You're between 8 and 13 years old, or you enjoy reading middle-grade fiction that doesn't talk down to you.
You're a football fan who wants to see what youth academy training actually looks like, beyond the glamour of professional play.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer stories where the protagonist is immediately the best and everyone recognises it from day one.
You're looking for a standalone novel. This is book two in a series, and it builds on the first book's foundation.
You want gritty, realistic fiction about football's darker side. This is inspirational and hopeful.

About this book

Leo K. Doyle, a small-town kid from Ohio, has made the roster of a Premier League youth squad. However, he is not a starter for the U14 Lewisham Knights, the worst team in the league. If the team doesn't improve this season, the owner plans to disband it, which would threaten Leo's dream of becoming a professional soccer player. Beyond soccer, Leo must manage schoolwork, build new friendships in a foreign country, navigate a coach who seems indifferent to him, and adapt to living away from home during a demanding Youth Premier League season. Leo believes he has the talent to help his team improve, but he must balance all these challenges while competing on the world's biggest stage. This is the second book in The Academy series.
