About this item
Jaylin has always been a star defender on his lacrosse team, but his catching ability holds him back from his dream position--midfielder. When a trip to the eye doctor gives him the chance he needs to up his game, Jaylin gives everything he has to show he belongs on offense, too.
About the Author
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.
