About the book
Fresh off his success with the junior national team, Leo K. Doyle is back in England and playing for the U16s…where he’ll be a newbie. All. Over. Again. And with a new contender in the Youth Prem that just so happens to have an old enemy in the lineup, Leo has more to fight for than just a starting spot on the team. Unfortunately, a new team and new division might be the easy part of this next chapter in his soccer career: between meeting a pretty girl and managing a tragedy that threatens to the ruin the whole season…
Whew. It’s a lot. Can Leo find his spot at school with his new classmates and at the pitch with his new teammates?
