About this ebook
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 ONE
A NEW START
Sunshine glinted off the metal rim of the basketball hoop on Nina Jefferson’s driveway. Nina didn’t feel the warmth of the sun, though. She told herself she didn’t feel warm because she was focusing on perfecting her three-point shot.
But that’s not the truth, she thought.
Truthfully, she was using her favorite thing—basketball—to erase the nervousness thrumming through her body. Today was her first day at Willow Heights Middle School.
Her dad’s job as a city administrator meant a move from Minnesota to Janesville, Illinois. Even worse than being the new kid was being the new kid in the middle of the school year. Especially in Janesville. It was a tiny town in the middle of nowhere.
