Now a New York Times bestselling series, perfect for summer reading! Leo has become a star in the Youth Premier League and one of the brightest young soccer players in the world.

But he faces his greatest challenge yet when he joins his junior national team and tries to lead an underdog soccer 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. Will Leo and his team flame out in the group stage and disappoint their country?

Or can Leo become a true leader and bring his team together?

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