Now a New York Times bestselling series! Leo and his teammates are riding high after their performance in the Tournament of Champions.

But last season, they still finished near the bottom of the table in the U14 Premier League. If they want to compete with the London Dragons, they have a big challenge ahead of them.

Samantha is back to coach the Knights, but some of Leo's friends have moved to the U16s or transferred to other clubs. There's a whole new group of players, including Goran, a tough central midfielder who is determined to take Leo's position. To make matters worse, Leo has a setback that might ruin his season—or even his future career.

The Youth Premier League is the best in the world, and Leo and his teammates will be tested like never before. Can they handle the pressure, overcome a whole new set of obstacles, and rise to the challenge of a Title Fight?

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