Cross-country Conspiracy (Jake Maddox Jv Mysteries)

Twins Domingo and Carmen Rivera are ready for the big Camp Rivals Race, when the four camps compete in an annual cross\-country running competition, but this year there are problems: in the boys\x27 race there is a pile\-up, and Andy, Domingo\x27s old friend, manages to prevent him from winning\-\-but when Andy sends a text warning Carmen to watch out in the girls\x27 race the twins become convinced that some of the other kids are cheating by working together to sabotage rival runners. 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.
