Last year, Annie didnt make the basketball team. But this year theres a new coach, and Annies been practicing her heart out. Annie is determined to make the team this year, and she isnt going to let anything stand in her way!
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.
Full Court Dreams by Jake Maddox is a good book and I recommend it to young readers who play and understand basketball. Annie and her best friends can't wait for basketball tryouts, but they hope they don't get cut from the team like last year. At least, they have a different coach this year and Annie and her friends have been working really hard this summer. This book is a great book because you can relate to it if you play basketball.
