Snowboarding Surprise

"Samira has never been the best gymnast on her team, but she has always worked hard and loved what she was doing; but when a torn rotator cuff sidelines her and six months later her shoulder just does not seem to feel right--she discovers snowboarding, a whole new world of speed and excitement opens up before her, and Samira has to decide which sport to commit to."--Publisher's description.

About the author

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.
