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.

Blizzard! - Jake Maddox
[ Chapter 1 ]
OWEN
Two beads of sweat raced down the face of 16-year-old Owen Sevensky. He carried his suitcase across the airport parking lot.
His dad, Calvin, followed. Waves of heat floated up from the ground.
Do you need help with that?
Calvin asked.
No, I’m okay,
Owen said. He wiped sweat from his face.
His corduroy pants, sweater, and coat made the hot Florida sun feel even hotter. He wished he were wearing a T-shirt and shorts like his dad was.
As they entered the airport, Owen let out a big sigh. Air conditioning!
he said. The greatest invention in human history.
I’d say the best invention is airplanes,
his dad said. And yours is late.
Owen looked at the departures board. The takeoff time for Burlington, Vermont was an hour later than scheduled.
A TV nearby was showing a report about an October blizzard. The big snowstorm had just gone through northern New England.
You’ll like Vermont,
Calvin said. Even the outside is air-conditioned.
More like deep frozen,
Owen said. If my flight is any later, I’ll miss the whole thing.
He pulled a piece of paper from his pocket and unfolded it. At the top, it read, Extreme Community Service Awards Dinner for America’s Teen Heroes.
Owen shook his head. The dinner starts at 7 p.m.,
he said. I’m going to have to go there straight from the airport.
Relax. The storm has to be affecting the other kids’ flights too,
Calvin said. Since you have time to kill now, why don’t you take off your coat and join me outside for a smoothie? It might be your last chance to see the sun for three days.
