FROM THE PLAYGROUND TO THE PREMIER LEAGUE<\/p>\n

Born and raised in a small town, Leo K. Doyle has never seen the ocean or stepped foot on a plane. But Leo is a star soccer player with big dreams in life.<\/p>\n

Rock-star, Olympic gold, dragon-slaying dreams.<\/p>\n

While Leo longs to make the pros one day, he has no idea how to achieve this goal\u2014
\nuntil a professional scout pays a chance visit to one of Leo\u2019s games and extends an invitation to try out for the London Dragons youth squad, known as The Academy.<\/p>\n

Leo is stunned. The London Dragons isn\u2019t just any old soccer team. It\u2019s a world-famous English Premier League team. Soon Leo is off to a whole new country, embarking on the greatest adventure of his life. The downside? Only eleven players can make the team.<\/p>\n

Eleven out of two hundred of the very best youth players on the planet.<\/p>\n

Along with the grueling competition, Leo must also face a bully intent on torpedoing his summer, a roomie who doesn\u2019t know how to have fun, a terrifying camp director, and, most of all, Leo\u2019s own lack of formal training and the fear he\u2019ll never succeed.
\nBy the end of the summer, Leo will become a much better player and forever changed by his experience.<\/p>\n

But will he be good enough to make the Academy?\"\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
