"I recommend that every library have the Jake Maddox books for their boy readers. They are easy to read chapter books (RL 3.3) and are about high interest sports. The characters have to make decisions and deal with situations that most boys have to deal with whether they are playing sports or just hanging out with friends. The boys that come to my library can't get enough of this series and eagerly grab at any new ones that come in. In this story, Amir loves to climb. A police officer steers him to a climbing wall outside of the city after catching Amir climbing the side of a building. At the climbing wall, Amir meets a new friend, William. William doesn't want to learn the right way to climb and puts himself in serious danger. Amir must use his wits and his climbing skill to save his friend. This book has an excellent, sturdy library binding. (Recommended, buy.)"
