| Publisher Description: Caleb is a young baseball player who's struggling to come out of his shell on a team run by a no-nonsense coach. When Caleb's family agrees to host Ricky, a 19-year-old ballplayer from the Dominican Republic, at their home for the summer while he plays on a local independent team, Caleb begins to rediscover the fun side of the game. Will Caleb, with Ricky by his side, find a way to let his colors fly? |
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." |
