Publisher Description:
Kaleb has always looked up to his older stepbrother and Army Reserve, Luke, both on the slopes and off. So when Luke is deployed overseas, Kaleb is proud of him but worried. When Luke is injured and sent home, Kaleb starts feeling reckless, and his decisions on the trails might be just as dangerous as the reality that Luke faces. Can Kaleb rein in his anger and dominate the slopes in honor of his snowboard hero?

Contributor Bio(s): Maddox, Jake: - "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."
