(4) 1-3 Jake Maddox Sports Stories series. Illustrated by Jesus Aburto. Text by Eric Stevens. Accompanied by black-and-white full-page caricatured illustrations, these two short books about skateboarding and paintball teach young readers about dealing with bullies nonviolently and the importance of adult authority figures' involvement. Though message-laden, the low-level chapter books will appeal to sports-loving struggling readers. Each book is supplemented by background on the sport, discussion questions, and writing prompts. Glos. Reviews cover these Jake Maddox Sports Stories titles: Board Battle and Paintball Problems.
