Jack Scorer thought relegation was the worst thing that could happen. He was wrong. After a brutal end to the season, Littleton Wanderers receive an unexpected invitation, a European charity cup tournament in the heart of Paris. Sixteen teams. One trophy. The trip of a lifetime. Then everything changes. Suddenly the team is on its own in a city they don’t understand. And only Jack can put it right. To save the trip, Littleton stumble into a Paris no postcard ever shows. Underground games, wrestling rings, and everything riding on a pet snail named Shelly. Jack came to Paris chasing glory. Now he’s running through a city he doesn’t know, hiding from the people who trust him most. Glory brought them to Paris. But honesty might be the only thing that gets them home.
