Synopsis

Sydney Todachine is stuck at her grandfather's ranch for the summer, and she's feeling out of place. So when Sydney bonds with a beautiful horse, she decides to ride in secret rather than risk embarrassing herself in front of the experienced cowboys and cowgirls. But as rider and horse practice pole bending, will Sydney find the courage to face her fears and compete in the upcoming rodeo? Each book in Jake Maddox Girl Sports Stories features easy-to-read text, fast-paced action, plus back matter support materials to make it a winning read.

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.
