    About this ebook

    Peter made the varsity lacrosse team, just like his best friends said he would. In fact, the coach thinks he's one of the best on the team. But Hurley Johnson, the team's captain, doesn't want Peter to take his spot. He'll stop at nothing to make Peter quit. Will Peter give up?

    Jake Maddox

    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.

      CHAPTER 1

      MY BIGGEST FAN

      It was Sunday afternoon. I was sitting on the edge of the comfy couch in the TV room of my house.

      I’d been flipping the remote at lightning speed. I was going back and forth between two channels that most people never even watch.

      My friend Eddy’s head was hanging upside down next to me. Peter, she said. Really. Stop!

      Yes, Eddy is a girl. Her real name is Meredith Parker, but she took the Ed from the middle of Meredith and made it into Eddy.

      Eddy was sitting on the couch. Her feet were hanging over the back. Her head was where her legs should have been.

      She rolled her eyes. Can you please stop changing the channel for, like, half a second? she said.

      Eddy knows me pretty well. We’ve been neighbors since we were babies. We grew up together. And she knows that I use the remote control faster and better than anyone.

      Eddy, I replied, Georgetown is playing Johns Hopkins on channel 122, and Cornell is playing Duke on 183!

      I’d been switching between two big college lacrosse games pretty much nonstop since Eddy had come over an hour earlier. I guess it was making her kind of crazy.

      Well, she said with a
