Publisher Description:
Eddie Jackson loves playing catcher. But when he's batting and in the spotlight, he's a wreck. After an embarrassing strike out last summer, he thought he'd be done with baseball for good. Now he's back in the game as a backup catcher. When an injury forces him to step up to the plate, will Eddie be able to overcome his nerves, or is it going to be another swing and a miss? 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.

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."
