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, United States, 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 United States soccer school. Perfect for fans of Up For Air and Squad Goals!
