Balance Beam Boss by Jake Maddox
Sofia is used to being the best gymnast at her gym in the city. But after a bad fall and injury during practice, getting back on the beam is harder than she thought. When she does come back after recovering, Sofia is consumed with fear and anxiety related to her fall, emotions her coach doesn’t seem to recognize. Can Sofia overcome her fear and trauma to make it back on the beam?
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. Since graduating from Loughborough University School of Art and Design in 2004, Katie Wood has been a freelance illustrator. From her studio in Leicester, England, she creates bright and lively illustrations for books and magazines all over the world.
