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
TALKING ABOUT TRYOUTS
It was hot. Too hot to move. Summer was almost over, and Andrea couldn’t wait for fall to begin. Boot weather! Apple cider! Volleyball!
At the thought of volleyball, Andrea sat up quickly. Just last night, her mom had told her that the coach she’d had for the past three years was moving to California. Coach Warren had been great — she’d led the team to many victories. How would this year go with a new coach?

When she arrived at the pool, Andrea saw Rose already in the water talking to a girl she didn’t recognize. Andrea ditched her bag and shorts by a lounge chair and jumped into the pool. She splashed up from her dunk with a happy sigh and swam over to her friend.
Hey!
Andrea called out to the two girls.
Hi, Andrea!
Rose said. This is Zoe. She moved to my street a couple of weeks ago.
The girl in the lace-patterned bathing suit smiled. Nice to meet you,
Zoe said.
I was just telling her that she should join the volleyball club this fall,
said Rose. She turned back to Zoe, paddling easily. Andrea is an awesome setter. It’s a super fun team — we’re called the Pumas. We even won Regionals last year!
I don’t know. I haven’t really played volleyball before,
Zoe said uncertainly. "It
