Streetball Showdown
When country kid Langston spends the summer with his city cousins, he learns street basketball from his cousin Ant; however, their friendship suffers as Langston gains attention and gets an invitation to play on a new team.
When country kid Langston is sent to spend the summer with family in the city, he's sad about missing an important basketball tournament. But then his cousin Ant introduces him to street basketball.
After a rough start, Langston makes strides with this new way to play, largely thanks to Ant's tips and tricks. However, when Langston gets too much attention from the others in the neighbourhood, the cousins' friendship takes a hit and the two start avoiding each other.
Soon, Langston is given the chance to play with another team. Will he leave Ant and the bad blood behind, or will family come first?
Streetball Showdown by Jake Maddox explores themes of family, friendship, and personal growth through the lens of an exciting sport.

About the Author
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.
