Description

Avani Patel loves to skateboard. With the nearest skate park an hour away, though, she doesn't get much chance to sharpen her skills or practice advance tricks.

Then one day, she learns the city council is considering building a skate park in town! But it's far from a done deal. Can Avani and her friends find a way to convince the council that a park is a worthy investment for the community, or will she be stuck doing ollies in her driveway? Find out in this fast-paced, easy-to-read illustrated chapter book by Jake Maddox!

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.

Siempre un jugador de equipo, Maddox se da cuenta de que se necesita más de una persona para crear un libro lo suficientemente bueno para un joven lector.
