Batter Power-Up! by Jake Maddox
Zack Jones is a whiz when it comes to playing defence in the outfield. But when it comes to hitting a baseball, his batting skills come up short. Luckily, his friend Jamie has an incredible virtual reality system that helps him train to improve his batting game. But when the VR system goes up in smoke, Zack loses his confidence and isn’t sure he can perform at the plate when his team needs him. Will Zack find faith in himself and keep his bat powered up when the game is on the line? Combining exciting sports stories with a dynamic graphic novel format, these fast-paced tales of sportsmanship and teamwork come to life in full-colour graphic novels. Supportive back matter, including comprehension questions, writing prompts and non-fiction sports info, helps young readers and sports enthusiasts step up their game.-

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. Passionate comic book artist Eduardo Garcia works from his studio (Red Wolf Studio) in Mexico City with the help of his talented son, Sebastian Iñaki. He has brought his talent, pencils, and colors to varied projects for many titles and publishers such as Scooby-Doo
(DC Comics), Spiderman Family (Marvel), Flash Gordon (Aberdeen), and Speed Racer (IDW).
