| Publisher Description: Will Pastora is entering his first snowboard race at the ski resort where he's vacationing. Instead of signing up as a beginner--where he belongs--he lies about his experience and registers for a higher level of competition. But when he faces his first black-diamond mountain, Will learns that the high level isn't just about tougher competition. It's about dangerous terrain too. Will the racing newbie admit to his sham before he gets hurt? |
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." |
