Ana Flores has always been more interested in books than sports But when the women's softball team at the local college piques her interest, she decides to give the sport a shot. Tryouts don't go as well as she'd hoped, and she's named the coach's assistant. But she's not giving up yet. With the surprising help of her frenemy, Mali, Anna works hard on her confidence and her catching, with the hopes of one day snagging the position. A glossary, writing prompts, and discussion questions provide readers of this popular series with appropriate support.

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.
