As Schools Reopen, a Gritty Sports Heroine Returns to the Classroom on JUNE 1, 2021 in a reprise editon of 'Maggie Vaults Over the Moon'. Recently canonized as one of the great track and field novels of all time by Citius Mag, the saga of a gritty Kansas farm girl’s quest to master the daring sport of pole-vaulting has stirred the hopes and dreams of readers around the world.

“A fine YA novel about perseverance in sports and in life.” – KIRKUS REVIEWS

As middle schoolers return to class, they may find comfort being on the same page with their peers as their teacher reads aloud from an inspiring story. Which is why Maggie Vaults Over the Moon is being republished as a new ISBN as a classroom reader, with discussion questions to help students reflect and regroup following the pandemic that has disrupted their lives.

“Girls who play sports and the coaches and families who support them will thoroughly enjoy this warm, uplifting story.” – Christine Brennan, USA TODAY

In addition to the original story by author Grant Overstake, the “Class Set Version” includes an inspiring message by reigning Olympic Pole Vault Champion Katerina Stefanidi, with group discussion questions for young people in hard times by a Language Arts (ELA) Teacher and Mental Performance Consultant with a Doctorate in Sport Psychology, Dr. Melissa White.
