Description
Jacob dreams of scoring goals in front of a crowd of cheering football fans. Unfortunately for him, he's stuck playing as a defender in a team with only four regular players. At this rate, his team will never be the best, and Jacob's dream of being the star player won't come true. When the local street football team challenges him to a match, Jacob must learn what it means to be a team player. Will he realize there's more to playing football than just scoring goals?

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. Passionate comic book artist Eduardo Garcia works from his studio (Red Wolf Studio) in Mexico City with the help of his talented son, Sebastian Inaki. He has brought his talent, pencils, and colors to varied projects for many titles and publishers such as Scooby-Doo
(DC Comics), Spiderman Family (Marvel), Flash Gordon (Aberdeen), and Speed Racer (IDW).
