Home-Field Football

by Jake Maddox, Sean Tiffany (Illustrator)

Mason is the newest addition to the Clearwater Middle School football team. His new team is nothing like his old one. The coach doesn't have much time for practice, the field and equipment are old and worn, and no one even wants to be quarterback. Can Mason help out his new home team?

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.

[Jalen Gibson · Rating 4 out of 5]

the novel is a boy name mason who takes in charge of the football team because the coach is an social studies teacher and a football coach but doesn't know much about football so mason steps in. I gave this rating a 4 because the one thing i didn't like about it was they could of added more details that's why i didn't give it a 5. the ages that will enjoy this do is 11 and up so you can be older and have a better understanding.
