Synopsis

Juan was a track star at his old school, so he's not sure what to expect when he's asked to join the football team in his new town. Right away, Juan thinks he's made the wrong choice. He can't catch, he can't throw, and one of the members of the team hasn't been making it easy for Juan to feel at home. Can the ex-track star learn his new sport in time for the biggest game of the season?

About this title

About the Author:

Who is Jake Maddox? Athlete, author, world-traveler – or all three? He has surfed in Hawaii, scuba-dived in Australia, and climbed the mountains of Peru and Alaska. His books range from the most popular team sports to outdoor activities to survival adventures and even to auto racing. His exploits have inspired numerous writers to walk in his footsteps – literally! Each of his stories is stamped with teamwork, fair play, and a strong sense of self-worth and discipline. Always a team-player, Maddox realizes it takes more than one man (or woman) to create a book good enough for a young reader. He hopes the lessons learned on the court, field, or arena and the champion sprinter pace of his books can motivate kids to become better athletes and lifelong readers.

Review:

.,."the titles deal with issues they face in middle school... the Jake Maddox series doesn't sugar-coat the issues."
