What's This Book About
Audrey Miller isn’t thrilled about moving to a new town or starting eighth grade at a new school. Things start looking up when she meets Ryan, a wide receiver on the school’s football team. Audrey loves playing football and decides to join the team. But the other boys on the team only see her as a girl, not a football player. And not only are they mean to her, but they’re cruel to Ryan as well. As Audrey and Ryan’s friendship grows, Ryan admits to Audrey that their teammates stopped being friends with him because he had a crush on a boy. Can both Audrey and Ryan prove themselves on the field and change their teammates’ minds about what it takes to be a truly great athlete?

The Creatives Behind the Book
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.
