About this ebook
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.

Chapter 1
NEW SCHOOL
Gina Gonzalez noticed the sign as soon as she approached River City Middle School. A banner that read Home of the River City Raiders!
hung across the entrance.
Gina smiled. That could be my new team, she thought. I could be a Raider!
All around her, kids hurried into the building. Gina’s stomach was tied in knots. River City Middle School was at least twice the size of her old school.
All I have to do is make it through the day, Gina thought. Then I can go to soccer tryouts.
Just then, the first bell rang. Gina pretended she was on the soccer field and pushed down the hall to her homeroom.

At first, she was the only one there. Within minutes, groups of girls in red jerseys made their way onto the field. Some practiced passing. Others bounced the soccer balls on their knees or heads. They were all laughing and smiling, and Gina relaxed a little.
One of the girls closest to Gina smiled at her. Hey, I’m Rachel,
she said, smoothing her hair back into a ponytail. You must be new.
Gina nodded. Yep,
she said. I’m Gina.
It’s nice to meet you!
said Rachel. Let me introduce you to some of the other girls.
Rachel turned and waved to some girls across the field. New girl!
she called.
Rachel’s friends immediately hurried over. We love new girls,
one of the girls said happily. I’m Becca, by the way.
I’m Lara,
said another. "I’m glad you’re
