Seb, Hannah and Maria are back together and this time they are in Miami at the World Football Championships. It quickly becomes apparent that one of the goalkeepers has gone missing and the trio are determined to find her. But can they succeed before the final?
I read Ellie's first book in the Gold Medal Mysteries, Thief On The Track, after meeting her at a Simon and Schuster showcase last year (you can read my review here) so it was good to see the trio back together again and to see their friendship develop; however, finding a missing goalkeeper is far more dangerous that a missing gold medal, especially as the first thing they need to do is decide whether she has vanished of her own accord or has been kidnapped. The story is gripping and and the stakes are high with a plot that will keep readers guessing.
The book is perfect for sports fans and Ellie's love of sport shines through. I know that Peril On The Pitch will be perfect for fans of football and will appeal to reluctant readers. Publishing on the 15th August, I know this book will be just as big a hit in school as Thief On The Track and I can't wait to see what they get up to next.
