Match Day Mayhem

Sports entertainment and YouTube superstars Dude Perfect bring tricks, flips, fist bumps, and that puzzling panda to middle school in this funny fiction series from the world's top trick shot entertainers. In Dude Perfect + Panda, eighth graders Cory, Coby, Tyler, Garrett, and Cody have a growing video channel, mysterious new skills, and a knack for saving the world--one sport at a time.

In this second book for 8 to 12 year olds, the young dudes are invited to perform in London at a soccer match. As part of the event, the stadium is displaying an antique jeweled trophy with a storied past. When the trophy is stolen, the organizers consider cancelling the game. But Dude Perfect (and secret agent Panda) can't let that happen--this is their international debut! The guys follow clues, interview suspects, and practice trick shots (because they are going to save this game!). But when players get sick, Dude Perfect needs to take their place. Can the Dudes solve the crime and win a premier soccer game at the same time?
