12-year-old Leo has never really left his little town where he is the local soccer star. But when a chance encounter brings a recruiter to one of his games he is extended an offer to a youth soccer camp and tryout for the London Dragons youth development team. Leo is so excited that his dreams are starting to come true, but they are soon slowed down when Leo gets a rude awakening that he is one of the few players there that hasn’t had formal training and that makes his dreams even harder to reach. Can Leo’s creative playing work out for him in the end?
Oh my gosh I totally loved it all. I was a soccer player in my younger (and much
better knees) years, and after watching some shows that also feature some of
what is going on here, it made it even more interesting. I devoured this book and it’s second part The
Academy II the Journey Continues and cannot wait for more. The characters are awesome and relatable even
Messi was there cheering Leo on and helping him make good choices from afar. This book is action packed and has its very
suspenseful moments. This is a book that
will keep any soccer player engaged. It
is a really good book and I cannot wait for more.
