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.

    MOVING IN

    Fiona Roth was sitting on a cardboard box in an empty bedroom in her new apartment. She didn’t feel like she was at home, but she was.

    All around her were cardboard boxes and big, bulky suitcases. In the corner, posters were rolled up in tubes leaning against the wall.

    Are you unpacking? her mom called from the other room.

    Fiona sighed. She was supposed to be getting her bedroom set up.

    Yes, Mom, she called back. Then she got up and opened the box she’d been sitting on. It was full of her hockey equipment.

    Well, Fiona said to herself, at least this town has a hockey team.

    Fiona loved hockey. She had been one of the best players on her middle school’s ice hockey team. And the other players were her best friends. Life was great.

    That is, life was great until her mom got a new job and they had to move down to the city.

    Fiona had spent her whole life — till now — living in a small town way up north. Everything was different there.

    There were lakes everywhere. Houses were sometimes miles apart. Between them were huge fields and forests.
