But after he quit abruptly at the end of the last season, Jasper's old teammates aren't exactly thrilled to see him, and finding a spot on the team isn't easy. Does Jasper have what it takes to make it on the football field, or is he doomed to detention? |
Contributor Bio(s): Maddox, Jake: - "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."Ray, Michael John: - Mike Ray is the founder of Ink Tycoon, LLC and a freelance illustrator with over 10 years of experience.
