Block and Rock

by Jake Maddox

Back before junior high, Justin, Tony, and Miles were the best of friends. Then they got pigeonholed into cliques and Justin was thrown in with the band nerds while Tony and Miles became a part of the jocks. But now that Justin wants to try out for the football team, music and football and stereotypes will surely collide. Will Justin find a way to survive?

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.

Reviews

Very good. I like how the way he interacts with his friends inside and outside of school seems to be very realistic, and I feel like the conflict he is going through is happening to someone in the real world.
