Jake Maddox

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.

    SHARK GIRL

    Jill scanned the ocean. Her legs dangled over the sides of her surfboard. Her board bobbed gently in the water. She was looking for a wave, any wave, that would take her in to shore.

    The ocean was way too calm. Definitely not a good surfing day.

    Suddenly, a shrill scream burst across the water.

    Shark!

    Jill quickly turned on her board. She looked in the direction of the warning. Then she shook her head.

    Shark! Meg shouted. She waved her arms frantically. It’s not a mistake this time! I swear!

    She stopped waving when she saw Jill, and she gripped the edge of her surfboard. Jill could see that Meg’s knuckles were bone white.

    Jill paddled up to her. You know the story of the boy who cried wolf, right? You’re going to be known as the girl who cried shark! she said.
