About this listen
Leo goes for glory with his junior national team!
Leo K. Doyle has become a star in the Youth Premier League and one of the brightest young players in the world. But he faces his toughest challenge yet when he joins his junior national team and tries to lead an underdog squad to victory in the greatest tournament of all for his age group: the U15 Cup of Nations.
Unlike the Lewisham Knights, Leo’s national team doesn’t have a roster full of Premier League talent. Plus, the team has terrible chemistry and very little time to improve.
The stakes have never been higher. The United States is the host nation, and the pressure is on to make a good showing. Will Leo and his teammates flame out in the group stage and disappoint their country? Or can Leo become a true leader and bring his team together?

Ben Ripley may only be in middle school, but he's already pegged his dream job: CIA or bust. Unfortunately for him, his personality doesn't exactly scream "secret agent". In fact Ben is so awkward, he can barely get to school and back without a mishap. Because of his innate nerdiness, Ben is not surprised when he is recruited for a magnet school with a focus on science - but he's entirely shocked to discover that the school is actually a front for a junior CIA academy.

Being a kid can really stink. And no one knows this better than Greg Heffley, who finds himself thrust into middle school, where undersized weaklings share the hallways with kids who are taller, meaner, and already shaving. In Diary of a Wimpy Kid, author and illustrator Jeff Kinney introduces us to an unlikely hero. As Greg says in his diary: Just don't expect me to be all "Dear Diary" this and "Dear Diary" that. Luckily for us, what Greg Heffley says he won’t do and what he actually does are two very different things.

In this biography designed for children, your child will learn all about their hero in a way that's enjoyable and easy to understand. We understand not all kids enjoy books; that’s because they’re often made to read books they have no interest in. We wanted to make football books for kids that they would really enjoy. We dive deep into the player's upbringing with the situations and circumstances that made them the player they are today. The highs, the lows, and everything in between. This book needs no introduction, ladies and gentlemen...Lionel Messi!

Dexter Foreman is twelve going on eighty. He has lived at The Pines retirement village with his grandmother since he was six years old, and as a result he gets along better with senior citizens than kids his own age. He's homeschooled by the residents up until the day the county’s truancy officer shows up and announces that Dex has to go to a “real” school, to the local middle school. At school, Dex sticks out like a sore thumb. He dresses like a grandpa (and can be just as cranky). His taste in movies and music is decades out of date.

Twelve-year-old Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt Fitzroy believes that Henry, the hippopotamus at the brand-new FunJungle, has been murdered. The zoo’s top brass claim the hippo went belly up the natural way, but Teddy and his feisty friend Summer McCraken have other ideas. Could the culprit be FunJungle’s animal-hating head of operations? Or is it FunJungle’s owner - Summer’s dad - a man who is much more concerned about money than animal welfare? The deeper Teddy and Summer dig, the more danger they’re in - because when it comes to hippo homicide, the truth can’t be caged!

Max Best is not living his—ahem—best life. His job's a drag, his home's a shooting gallery, his hopes are nil, and lately, even his beloved game of football has devolved from a chaotic, ecstatic delight into a cold, calculating equation complete with stats, tech terms, and mindless lingo. But then Max rescues a mysterious old man from a mugging. "Nick" seems friendly enough . . . until he innocently asks his savior, "Would you sell your soul to be a top football manager?" Naturally, Max says yes, and in that instant, everything changes.
