K-3Maddox en español series.
Translated by Claudia Heck.
Illustrated by
Sean Tiffany.
Text by Bob Temple (Definición)/Chris Kreie (El lanzador). Also translated by Susana Schultz. Berk deals with a newcomer who takes his position as goalie on the soccer team (Definición). Allen struggles to pitch a winning game while his famous uncle is in the hospital fighting for his life (El lanzador). The cartoony black-and-white illustrations don't add much, but the Spanish texts are acceptable. These low-level chapter books should appeal to struggling readers. Review covers these Maddox en español titles: Definición por penales and El lanzador bajo presión.
