Valentina loves playing video games and she's really good at them. When a local esports team asks her to join them for an upcoming tournament she's thrilled. There's just one problem--Valentina has great skills in first-person action games but winning Kings and Castles relies on teamwork and strategy. During her practice matches Valentina keeps trying to win the game on her own. But she's quickly overwhelmed and defeated each time. If she wants to win she can't try to be the hero and take out all of the enemies herself. Will Valentina learn to hold back and work together with her teammates to achieve ultimate victory
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.
