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 thought the book was pretty good because I've always wanted to play lacross and it talks about the rules and the way their playing.

Lacrosse Attack had very stilted dialogue and felt like 1/3 of a story. I did like the tiny bit I learned about lacrosse.

The book Lacrosse Attack by Jake Maddox is a good book for people that like any kind of sports. It is about a freshman who makes varsity and goes through peer pressure and bullying. He makes the team and meant two bullies that torture him and try and get him to drop the ball by chucking it at him. His friends support him every way they can, but they can't stop him. Will he make starting position? To find out read this!
