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.

    Pulling himself up onto his knees, Max saw his best friend, Owen Juele, walking toward him. Max and Owen had grown up on the same block and spent every afternoon after school together. Both of Owen’s parents worked full time, so they always went to Max’s house.

    Owen came to a stop next to Max. He made sure to keep his sneakers just out of the mud puddle.

    Come on, Owen said. He held out his hand. They’re gone.
