Overview

When Mariana and her new friend, Selena, try to play some basketball at a local court, they’re challenged to a game by two older girls. If Mariana and Selena win, they get to use the court. But if the older girls win, they get Selena’s special autographed jersey. Unfortunately, things go badly and the younger girls lose the bet—and the jersey. However, they soon come up with a plan. Although some of Mariana’s skills are lacking, she’s great at shooting hoops. Will the friends succeed in their hoops hustle to get back Selena’s special jersey?

About the Author

Passionate comic book artist Eduardo Garcia works from his studio (Red Wolf Studio) in Mexico City with the help of his talented son, Sebastian Iñaki. He has brought his talent, pencils, and colors to varied projects for many titles and publishers such as Scooby-Doo (DC Comics), Spiderman Family (Marvel), Flash Gordon (Aberdeen), and Speed Racer (IDW).
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.
