Orca Sports Absolute Pressure Maverick Mania Dead in the Water Paralyzed Venom Slam Dunk Thunderbird Spirit

Maverick Mania  "The short, action-packed chapters, the tongue-in-cheek humour, the soccer game descriptions, and the general absence of thick, descriptive passages, will be to the liking of many pre-teen boys." —CM Magazine

Dead in the Water  "Any teen interested in sailing will love this book, but it will prove to be especially popular with those struggling readers who are learning about how reading can be exciting and absorbing." —Resource Links

Paralyzed  "This fast paced, short novel is perfect...It offers the excitement of the game and at the same time includes a story with substance and morals...Recommended." —Resource Links
