    About this ebook

    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.

      Cheer Challenge - Jake Maddox

      Chapter 1

      The Vote

      Amanda Reynolds stared at the blank square of paper in her hand. She couldn’t decide what to write. Who should she vote for? Who should be the captain of the seventh-grade cheerleading squad?

      She thought about what her best friend, Rachel, had said. You should totally vote for yourself, Amanda. I’ll vote for you and almost everyone else will too. You’ll win for sure.

      But Amanda wasn’t sure. It didn’t seem right to vote for yourself for cheerleading captain.

      The other girls were passing their votes to their coach. It was time to make a decision.

      Amanda started writing her own name. But then she quickly scribbled it out.

      She looked up. Everyone else was finished. She hunched over the paper to make sure no one could see her. Then she wrote Rachel.

      Before she could change her mind, she folded the paper. Then she handed it to Coach Wall.

      So? Rachel’s freckled face popped up in front of Amanda’s.

      So, what? Amanda asked.

      So, who did you vote for? Rachel asked, smiling. She put her hands on her hips. I voted for you, and you better tell me you did the same, she added.

      Well, you know, I just didn’t know if it was right, Amanda said.

      Rachel rolled her eyes. Whatever, Amanda, she said. You and I both know you would make the best captain. No one else here could handle it. She looked behind her to make sure no one was around. Then Rachel whispered, Come on, Amanda, tell me! Who did you vote for?

      The rest of the squad began to gather around Coach Wall.

      Hey, we better get over there, Rachel said. "Looks
