Baxter Reilly has always felt at home in the water. And the school swim team has been his place of refuge, especially over the past few months. Baxter's parents have separated, and his father is now living in a rundown apartment. Instead of dealing with his home life, Baxter has devoted himself to the swim team as the anchor of their 4x400 freestyle. But how can he anchor a team when his life is so adrift?

Contains librarian support materials including a comprehensive glossary and pronunciation guide, nonfiction back matter, and discussion questions and writing prompts referring back to the text; Features a problem and solution sequence of events. Good for teaching plot and character development; Appeals to fans of the original Jake Maddox series. This series is Jake Maddox taken to the next level ― has slightly higher reading and interest levels and protagonists face tougher challenges and opponents.
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.
