Content

The Academy is the hottest international sports school for teen athletes. There are only two ways in: money – and lots of it – or enough talent to earn a scholarship.

Young tennis star Maya’s dreams have finally come true! She’s got the scholarship. She’s got the drive. She’s on her way from small town to pro career . . . But when Maya starts boarding at the sports training school, her fantasy of the Academy doesn’t quite match the reality – because where there are beautiful, talented teens, there’s plenty of drama.

Meet the players:

Nicole: a tennis star who feels threatened by Maya (although she’d never admit it).

Cleo: Maya’s rebel / punk room-mate who’s reaching the top of the golf world.

Renee: a super-rich, super-gorgeous swimmer.

Travis: the son of the Academy’s owner and perfectly groomed to be the next big star of the National Football League.

Jake: Travis’s younger brother – and the bad boy of the school.

Lead Review

A Tennis Academy would usually expect a bit more about tennis. However, this is a light novel for young adults about teen romance and turf wars. Written by tennis champ Monica Seles
