Description
Fourteen, and magic on the pitch, Rocky Race is one of the best up and coming young footballers in the UK. But does she have what it takes to make it as a soccer pro in California?
Rocky Race is going to be the best soccer player in the world!
Rocky Race is not your average fourteen year old. She’s determined, ambitious and the best football player you’ve ever seen. So, when she gets a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to attend a prestigious soccer camp in California, USA, she takes it. But far from home, Rocky suddenly finds herself out of her comfort zone. Fake friends, her own anxieties and a brand new world with strange rules all threaten to derail her new life before it’s even started – does Rocky have what it takes to succeed?
The Soccer Diaries is a brand new series starring Rocky Race, a British footballer looking to make it big in a US soccer school. Perfect for fans of Up For Air and Squad Goals!
Advance Praise
"We are currently enjoying this story, it is lovely to have a female lead character in a football book to break stereotypes and with the current England team success it is great to see such a positive light on girls football. An inspiring story for children, we are really enjoying it." - Parent reader of child aged 7 (via Toppsta)
"A good read that covered a lot of topics - girls having a passion for sport, mental health, anxiety, friendships, family relationships and dynamics, and it didn’t shy away from talking about periods and how they make you feel - mentally, physically and emotionally!" - Adult reader (via Toppsta)
"Lovely to read a book about a girl footballer and how she succeeded." - Child reader, aged 11 (via Toppsta)
