About the author

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.

Jake Maddox and Lelo Alves give us a fun unique look at introducing pair skating to two young people.
While they are seemingly so alike, Mina and Luke will have to work together to be successful as a skating pair.
Can they do it?

A very quick-paced, colorful and diversified story for middle school or reluctant readers who appreciate this sport;
