Overview
The New York Times and USA Today bestselling Academy series is back with an all-new sports adventure!
After a tough end to the season, Leo and his U16 teammates are ready for a relaxing summer break. Instead they hear terrible news: a real estate developer wants to tear down the Cage.
The Cage isn't just Leo's favorite place to chill. It's beloved by the community and by players across London. To keep the developers away, the city needs a lot of money. Leo and his friends have no idea what to do—until they learn of a legendary tournament that takes place across South America every two years. The winner of the youth division could bring home enough prize money to save the Cage.
The only problem?
Teams from across soccer-mad South America—home to some of the top talent in the world—compete in the tournament. It's a grueling, month-long event. Leo and his friends will have to play in stadiums high in the mountains, deep in the jungle, and in the center of some of the world's largest cities.
And with so much prize money at stake? Let's just say that teams will give everything to come out on top. Which is why, in Brazil—where the final is played—the tournament is known as the Vencedor Leva Tudo.
