Off the Bench

Informationen zum Autor 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. Klappentext There are five guys on the Wildcats who always start! and forward Daniel Friedland isn't one of them. But when the star forward goes on vacation! Daniel gets his chance at the spotlight. It's his turn to shine. Daniel has worked hard at improving his free throws! but he's terrible at layups--and everybody knows it. He'll need to work hard if he wants to be a starting Wildcat.
