    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.

      SHARK GIRL

      Jill scanned the ocean. Her legs dangled over the sides of her surfboard. Her board bobbed gently in the water. She was looking for a wave, any wave, that would take her in to shore.

      The ocean was way too calm. Definitely not a good surfing day.

      Suddenly, a shrill scream burst across the water.

      Shark!

      Jill quickly turned on her board. She looked in the direction of the warning. Then she shook her head.

      Not again, she said to herself. She lay down on her board and began paddling.

      Shark! Meg shouted. She waved her arms frantically. It’s not a mistake this time! I swear!

      Meg! Jill called to her. She was still several feet away. You really have to stop.

      Jill could tell that Meg was panicked. Her eyes were wide, and her legs were drawn up on her board, her knees up to her chin.

      She stopped waving when she saw Jill, and she gripped the edge of her surfboard. Jill could see that Meg’s knuckles were bone white.
