Football Academy: The Real Thing

by Tom Palmer

United’s under-12 team has travelled to Poland for an exciting football tournament. For goalkeeper Tomasz, it’s a special moment—he’s proud to be back in the country where he was born. But not everyone shares his enthusiasm. Team captain Ryan has nothing good to say about Poland, and his harsh words stir up tension both during the games and among his teammates. With rising friction between the boys, can they put their differences aside before Ryan’s bad attitude costs United their shot at victory? (Book 3)
