Double Scribble

by Jake Maddox, Jesus Aburto (Illustrator)

Overview

Diego "Clutch" Rivera became the school's hero when he made the game-winning hook shot to take home last season's championship trophy. With the new season beginning, expectations are high that "Clutch" will lead the basketball team to another title. But when his trademark hook shot clanks off the rim, Diego's world crashes back to reality. He's stuck in a slump, and the only way to work out his problems is to draw out his thoughts and feelings in his sketchbook. Will Diego be able to get his head back in the game and help his team win another championship? Combining a high-stakes sports story with a dynamic full-color comic format, this Jake Maddox Graphic Novel is sure to be a win for young athletes and struggling readers alike.

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.
