Football Academy: Free Kick is the fifth book in the bestselling Football Academy series by Tom Palmer.

James has been a junior player at United for a long time. Everyone expects him to follow in his dad's footsteps and play for England one day. But James isn't so sure. He has something he wants to do even more than football. Something that means he would have to give up football. The problem is he doesn't want to disappoint his dad. At a tournament in London, where he is pitched against Arsenal and Chelsea players, James finally makes his mind up.

Researched at a Premier League club, Tom Palmer's Football Academy series is packed with authentic football detail and fast-paced action that will hook young readers from the first page.
