The Road to Canada

Book Four - Girls of Summer

By: Kate Christie

Narrated by: Britney Gil

The first three books of the Girls of Summer series introduced Emma Blakeley and Jamie Maxwell, two young athletes with bright soccer futures. Now, in The Road to Canada, a staffing change on the US Women’s National Team (USWNT) shortly before the 2015 World Cup has altered the playing field for both women.

For Jamie, a new coach means a renewed shot at making the World Cup roster for the top-ranked squad in the world. For Emma, the shift in priorities means that for the first time in her adult life, she isn’t sure she’ll be on the field - or even on the team - for a major championship.

Who will make the final cut for a chance to stand on top of the winner’s podium in Vancouver? To find out, join Jamie and Emma for the latest installment in the ongoing story of their lives, loves, and would-be world championships in The Road to Canada, book four of the bestselling series.

Continuing on my train of YES

Loving this series - on to book 5! If you’re wondering if you should read/listen to these books - just say yes!

Loved it!

I love the Girls of Summer series, and this installment is as stellar as the soccer these women play. The story is well-paced, and the narration is terrific. Emma, Jamie, and their teammates/friends are women you want to cheer on to victory on the pitch and in life. They are funny, touching, and genuine characters pursuing their dreams at the highest level of the soccer world while trying to navigate their lives off the field. I hope the whole series makes it to audio!

Great Story!

I’m really enjoying the game progression within each tournament and I remember the 1999, 2011, and 2015 World Cup games and all the drama behind it. It’s nice to see behind the scenes and humanizing the players. Ready for the next one!
