The Grounded Goalie

By Zac Marks

Every team needs a goalie. But what if he doesn't show?

Miles is missing and no one knows why. Jed and his friends need to figure out what's going on. Will Miles ever be allowed to play again? If not, who's going to take his place?

The Ferndale Foxes need to work as a team if they're going to solve the mystery. But Jed is feeling the pressure. Will he ever get any answers, or spend the whole season sliding through mud? And will he be able to save anything, let alone Miles?

The Grounded Goalie is part of 'The Football Boys' series, action-packed books for football and soccer-mad kids aged 8-12
