    About this ebook

    Ted is sure his week at Kart Camp is going to be the best week ever. But when Jake, son of a famous race-car driver, shows up at camp, Ted's plans are thrown off track. Ted is convinced Jake is using unfair advantages to win races. Will Ted let his bias get the best of him in the race to the finish line?

    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.

      Kart Competition - Jake Maddox

      CHAPTER 1

      HOMETOWN HERO

      Ted Forge leaned forward in his seat. Next to him, his best friend, Ashley Alvarez, did the same. They were watching the best event to visit their town all year: Indy car racing. Ted and Ash were both serious go-kart racers and racing fans. They had been looking forward to the race for months.

      I think Jeff has a real shot this year, Ted yelled. He had to shout to be heard over the roaring of the engines on the track.

      Ashley nodded. They’d talked about Jeff Stevens a million times. He was their favorite driver, largely because he was from their town, Lakeville. He was having his best season ever this year.

      The pack of cars sped by their seats and Ted and Ashley jumped to their feet. They cheered as Jeff’s number-eight car zoomed across the finish line.

      Another first-place finish for hometown favorite Jeff Stevens! the announcer called out over the loudspeaker. That puts him just nine points out of first in the standings.

      One more win and he’s got it, Ted said. He gave Ash a high five.

      Are you Jeff Stevens fans? a boy next to them asked. He looked familiar.

      Ash and Ted glanced at each other. Isn’t everyone here a Jeff Stevens fan? Ted said.

      Yeah, Ashley added. Jeff Stevens is from Lakeville, just like us.

      He’s the hometown hero, Ted said. You must not be from around here, huh? Otherwise you’d know that.

      Nope, the boy said, smiling. I live in the city. My dad grew up here. We come up every summer for a few weeks.

      Ted and Ash glanced at each other. They saw city kids come and go all the time in the summer. They came up to Lakeville to go fishing and boating and ride ATVs.

      I’m Jake, by the way,
