Story
On November 24, 1971, an unidentified man hijacked an airplane that was flying from Portland, Oregon, to Seattle, Washington. He demanded $200,000 and told a flight attendant that he had weapons. After stopping in Seattle, the hijacker was given the money and he released the attendants. But he demanded that the pilots stay on-board, refuel, and fly him to Mexico City. Just thirty minutes after the plane took off, the man jumped out of the aircraft and parachuted away...never to be seen or heard from again. Did he escape with the money? Did he even survive the jump?

There's anew new guy in town, and Max Bellotti promises to turn the Lions' losing streak around and lead the team to a conference title.

Will Tyler can fly on a football field. He may not be the biggest running back around, but no one can touch him when it comes to hitting the hole and finding the end zone. And no one can match his love of the game. When Will has a football in hand, he may as well be flying for real because life can't touch him - his dad isn't so defeated, his town isn't so poor, and everyone has something to cheer for. All of which does him no good if the football season is canceled.

Running back Mick Johnson has dreams: dreams of cutting back, finding the hole, breaking in to the open, and running free with nothing but green grass ahead. He has dreams of winning and of being the best. But football is a cruel sport. It requires power, grace, speed, quickness, and knowledge of the game. It takes luck, too. One crazy bounce can turn a likely victory into sudden defeat. What elite athlete wouldn’t look for an edge? A way to make him bigger, stronger, faster?

When the Brighton Bears suit up on game day, 12-year-old Tommy Gallagher is the toughest kid on the football field. And the bravest. After all, his father Patrick is a Boston firefighter - one of Boston's bravest. Tommy's dad taught him everything he knows about football - and life. Yet even Tommy isn't strong enough for what happens when the sirens ring and, for the first time, they're racing away from the fire. "First man in; last man out" had always been his dad's motto, yet he never said anything about leaving in an ambulance.

Another fun Jake Maddox sports story
Andrew is a receiver for his football team. He's been trying to improve, but he stills feels like he can't compare to his older brother. After a conversation about how to improve with his older brother, Andrew follows his advice and changes up what he's doing. But is it enough to help Andrew improve on the field?
This is another installment in the Jake Maddox series of sports novels and, like the others, tells a great story. The shorter length makes them perfect for reluctant readers and doesn't sacrifice the story. I really liked how Andrew followed his brother's advice in this one and used it to reach his goal.
For those who like listening to audiobooks, this is another good audiobook. The narrator is listed as anonymous, but I recognized the voice as someone who has narrated other Jake Maddox stories - and possibly other novels, too.
