LUCAS BETWEEN THE POSTS: Oakridge FC Series - Book 1

By Steve Whitfield

Lucas never thought he'd make the Oakridge FC select team. Last year, he didn't even make it through tryouts. But now, he's between the posts, wearing the gloves, and facing the biggest challenge of his young football life. With butterflies in his stomach and doubt whispering in his ear, Lucas battles through tryouts, intense training sessions, and a high-stakes tournament where every goal, and every save, matters. The pressure is heavy, and being a goalkeeper means there's no place to hide.

But Lucas isn't alone. With help from his best friend Noah, wise words from his parents, and inspiration from watching his hero, Alisson Becker, Lucas starts to believe he belongs. Goalkeeping legend Gianluigi Buffon provides tips in a vivid dream. And when a crucial match against a tough opponent puts everything on the line, he'll need to dig deep, trust his instincts, and rise to the occasion.

Fast-paced, relatable, and packed with emotion, Lucas: Between the Posts kicks off a thrilling new football series about courage, friendship, and chasing greatness - one match at a time. Perfect for fans of sports, underdogs, and big dreams.
