Soccer Star

When the son of an international soccer celebrity is kidnapped, his fate lies in the most unlikely hands...

Christmas is coming, but not for Brittany Tiff. All she has to look forward to is two weeks of not being ridiculed by her classmates. With her mom working two jobs, her brother only caring about stupid sports, and her life in shambles, this year she just wants to be left alone. Well, that's what she thinks.

Michal Slaydon is a retired soccer star turned fashion celebrity. Married to beautiful wife, a former model and tennis star, and with five attractive kids, he and his family are known all over the world. As they prepare for an annual holiday party in New York, all seems well with the Slaydon family. Until their worst nightmare strikes...

Everything changes for Brittany when she stumbles across a frightened boy claiming that he's being pursued by killers. He's a different skin color, extremely good looking, and is a little stuck up. In ordinary circumstances she would keep going. But when his story proves true, she risks everything to save him. And ends up his only hope.

The boy has no memory and Brittany has no idea what to do or who to trust. With only a homeless man and her brother to help, Brittany must find a way to protect the strange boy...especially from himself. The killers won't give up easily.

When two very different words meet, mystery, soccer, and danger collide.

This Christmas won't have an angel, but a SOCCER STAR!

Gregory Saur is the author of several adventure novels for young people, including The Pond Scum Gang. He claims to have written the longest little league novel ever with Royal Pains and Angels in the Outhouse and the most epic babysitting novel ever with Panterror! The Epic Babysitting Adventures of Rachel Pugsley. He would like to spend his time playing soccer while traveling the world and attending lavish parties, but instead writes about it. You can find him in Virginia if you were to look hard enough...probably on an empty field running around in circles with his hands in the air celebrating a "dream" goal in old Anfield.
