Football is a religion where Adrian "The Colombian Cannon" Molina comes from and with his wicked right leg, he has a clear shot to the promised land of the European Junior Leagues. But when a football scout offers him a full scholarship to an elite prep school in London, the news seems too good to be true. His enrollment hits a snag upon meeting the team's star striker, Titan Evans. Titan is everything Adrian is not; rich, powerful, connected, and with a hunger to dominate the school as well as the pitch. The constant fighting, teasing, and bullying, brings about crippling anxiety of losing his spot on the team. That's until Luciano DeSilva takes him under his wing, and gives Adrian the confidence to be himself and value his position on the team. From visionary writer and podcaster Jay Sandlin (Over the Ropes), illustrator Patrick Mulholland (Power Rangers), and superstar colorist Rebecca Nalty (GLOW) comes a foot- ball story, that blends the energy and heart of Shonen manga with a story about finding the right people in your life to not only make you a better player, but a better person.

      Grades 8-11 Adrian Molina, aka ""The Colombian Cannon,"" is the star player of the Bogota Condors, a youth soccer team competing in an extremely tough division. Adrian is under a tremendous amount of pressure. He has dreams of going pro and a family that completely supports him, but he suffers from an overwhelming fear of not being good enough, which causes him to doubt his abilities. This graphic novel lets readers tag along on Adrian's journey as he gets scouted by a top-ranked private school, leaves his family in order to pursue his dreams overseas, and experiences his first-ever relationship and love interest, all while overcoming bullying and racism along the way. Sandlin tackles bullying and racism with tact and skill, which translates into excellent character development that will resonate with young teens who similarly feel out of place or an intense pressure to succeed. Mulholland and Nalty's artwork provides a lively assist and brings the action on the pages to life. With a solid emotional core, this soccer comic will score goal after goal in the hearts of its readers.
