Goal Chaser Academy - The City Cup Final: Soccer Book Series for Kids 8-12 Chapter Books for Boys & Girls Who Love Sports About Never Giving Up, Frien (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798184473086)

The biggest game of the season is here.

And this time, everything is on the line.

Thunder Kick FC have fought their way through rain and rivals and the toughest teams in the city. They have fallen and gotten back up. They have learned to trust each other. They have become something nobody expected them to become.

A real team.

And now they are ninety minutes away from the City Cup.

Standing in their way? Iron Claws Academy. The most disciplined, most dangerous, most experienced team in the tournament. The team that has never forgotten losing to Thunder Kick. The team that has spent the entire season preparing for exactly this moment.

Leo Sparks is ready.

His Lightning Kick is sharper than it has ever been. His decision-making is cleaner. He has learned the hardest lessons the game can teach a young player and he carries every single one of them onto the pitch with him.

But the City Cup Final is going to ask him for something he has never given before.

Not the perfect shot.

Something harder than that.

When the most important moment of the season arrives in the final minutes of the final game, Leo will have a choice that no practice session and no backyard drill and no coaching session ever fully prepared him for.

And the choice he makes will define not just the game. But who he truly is.
