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.

I think this series is great. This one is about someone from his own school who is trying to make him play bad. Some pranks are pulled, but it turns out that it was someone he knew. I liked the illustrations and the message of not getting distracted by others and playing your own game.

I got some of the graphic novels but the length and variety of sports that are covered in this series gets kids excited. We have a lot of them and sometimes there are only 3 on the shelf. They are really popular.

I found all of these books at the library with my sports obsessed boys and we finished this one this morning. They loved it so much we immediately started a second one. It was a quick read that was interesting and easy for them to follow and had a great lesson.
