Publisher's Synopsis
"I almost feel like I am Jamie Johnson now." Jude Bellingham
Jamie switched on the soccer computer in his mind. It was programmed to play...set to score. Jamie Johnson had it all: a happy family, great buddies and a beautiful home. But that was back in the States, back before his whole life was turned upside down. Now he's living in England with nothing - apart from a secret dream to one day become a soccer legend.... He's got amazing talent and the desire to make it to the top. He's not perfect, but then none of us are. Introducing The Jamie Johnson Series!
