    About this ebook

    Jake is the best bull rider in his division. He's never been thrown from a bull and doesn't see that changing anytime soon. But when he takes a bad spill during competition, he hurts more than just his arm. His confidence takes a hit, as well. Jake has to learn to cowboy up and overcome his fear before he can ride again.

    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

      THE TOUGHEST BULL IN THE DIVISION

      Jake Monson took a seat on a bench in the arena prep station. He reached down and pulled on his cowboy boots. The announcer’s voice echoed throughout the arena. In the stands, people cheered. Jake’s turn to ride was coming up soon.

      I hope I get a strong bull in the draw, he thought. He was already in the finals, but Jake wanted to win it all. The only way to do that was to ride a high-ranking bull.

      Did you watch me, Jake? asked his friend Alicia. She sat down next to him, took off her leather gloves, and tossed her safety helmet aside. She put her cowboy hat on instead. She had just finished her final run. Now she could watch the others.

      Of course, Jake said. Blue Stinger is a tough bull to ride. You stayed on him all eight seconds. Your score will be awesome.

      Their friend Brandon ran down the arena ramp and into the prep station. You guys have to see this! he yelled. Kyle’s doing it!
