Rookie Runner by Jake Maddox
When Alvin's sister lands the lead in the school play, his parents tell him he'll need to find an after-school activity to keep him busy until they can pick up both kids. A fast runner, Alvin would like to give track and field a try, but it's the wrong season and he reluctantly chooses cross-country instead. But there's more to running cross country than being fast. Alvin must learn how to use patience and pacing, or he'll be left in the dust. Reader support tools, like a glossary and discussion questions, round out this story from the high-interest Jake Maddox JV series.
Jake Maddox, who is he? His novels cover a wide range of topics, including team sports, outdoor activities, survival experiences, and even motor racing. Many writers have been inspired by his achievements to follow in his footsteps - literally! Maddox, who has always been a team player, understands that it takes more than one man (or woman) to write a book suitable for young readers. He hopes that the skills taught on the court, field, or arena, as well as the champion sprinter pace of his books, would inspire children to become great athletes and readers for life.
