Maggie Vaults Over the Moon

“Girls who play sports and the coaches and families who support them will thoroughly enjoy this warm, uplifting story!” —Christine Brennan, USA TODAY columnist and author of On Her Game: Caitlin Clark and the Revolution in Women’s Sports

When Maggie Steele loses her older brother, the future seems to close in around her. Life on her family’s Kansas farm keeps moving, but Maggie feels stuck in grief, pressure, and self-doubt—until she discovers an unlikely way forward: the pole vault.

What begins as a daring escape becomes something much more. As Maggie learns to trust her body, face fear, and push past the limits others place on her, the crossbar becomes more than a mark of athletic progress. It becomes the line between the life she has known and the person she is becoming.
