Quinn O’Neill has a really bad habit. He wants to be part of a team, but every time he tries out a new sport or activity, he ends up quitting. In fact, his habit even earned him an unfortunate nickname - Quitt. When he sees a poster at school looking for people to join the school diving team, he decides to give it a try. But after making the team, nobody believes he’ll stick with it, especially after he gets injured in a bike accident. Will he be able to get back on the board? More importantly, will he overcome his own self-doubts to help his team succeed?

Combining exciting sports stories with a dynamic graphic novel format, these fast-paced tales of sportsmanship and teamwork come to life in full-colour graphic novels. Supportive back matter, including comprehension questions, writing prompts and non-fiction sports info, helps young readers and sports enthusiasts step up their game.

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.
