Leo K. Doyle, a small-town kid from the States, has beaten all the odds and made it into a Premier League youth squad.
But he is far from the star player.
In fact, he isn't even a starter – and the U14 Lewisham Knights are the worst team in the league. They're so bad that if they don't improve this year, the owner will disband the team, which could jeopardise Leo's dream of becoming a professional footballer.
As if that wasn't enough to deal with, Leo has to keep up with his schoolwork, make brand new friends in a foreign country, deal with a manager who doesn't seem to like him, and survive away from home for a demanding season in the Youth Premier League.
Leo believes he has the talent to help his team, but can he juggle all these balls and prove himself on the world's biggest stage?

Leo Doyle has finally made it into a Premier League youth squad — but he’s nowhere near the top. As a benchwarmer on the struggling U14 Lewisham Knights, he faces the terrifying possibility that the team might be disbanded if they don’t improve, taking his dream of going pro down with it. On top of that, he’s juggling schoolwork, new friendships, a sceptical manager and life far from home.
Determined to prove he belongs, Leo throws himself into the toughest season of his life, battling pressure, self‑doubt and fierce competition. As he grows as a player and a person, he must find out whether talent, grit and heart are enough to keep his dream alive on one of football’s biggest stages.
