E219: THE MYSTERY OF THE STOLEN WORLD CUP TROPHY by Angela Cervantes

KidLit Love Podcast: April 30, 2026

I’m back with another bonus episode of the KidLit Love podcast!

I try to release only one episode a week so I do not overwhelm you with episodes to listen to, but there are just SO MANY amazing books coming out and this is one of them.

Angela Cervantes has a special place in my reading heart because my daughter and I would read her books together and I was thrilled to talk with her about her newest release.

Happy listening!


THE MYSTERY OF THE STOLEN WORLD CUP TROPHY by Angela Cervantes

On this episode of the KidLit Love podcast, I’m talking with Angela Cervantes about her newest middle grade novel: THE MYSTERY OF THE STOLEN WORLD CUP TROPHY.

This fast-paced middle grade detective story follows a 12-year old sleuth as he races to uncover the stolen trophy before the championship match. It’s perfect for mystery-loving middle grade readers, sports enthusiasts and every reader in-between.

Come listen as we talk about the real life inspiration behind the novel, the perfect blend of mystery and middle grade heart inside and some interesting facts about soccer, too. There’s something for everyone in this book!

Here is the book featured in this episode. You’ll find links to my Amazon and Bookshop affiliate stores below. Thanks for your bookish support!
