Isaac isn't thrilled when his family moves from the snowy town of Winterfall to the beach. The move means he'll have to leave his friends behind, and worst of all, he can't snowboard on the sand. Isaac decides to give surfing a try, but his plan hits a snag when a bully lays claim to the entire beach.

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.

I would like to branch off into different genres, such as middle grade.

Beach Bully follows a new teen named Isaac. Isaac has just moved from Montana to the beach. He was so used to surfboarding until moving. Now he has nothing. Or so he thought.
He takes a walk after moving in and goes to the ocean. While there, he notices many people surfing.. he doesn't think he looks hard. so he goes home.... but beforehand.. has a run in with a bully; named Jackson. Jackson is the "owner" of the beach. After buying things to begin his surfing career, Isaac goes to the beach but fails at his first try due to missing some things. After weeks of suffering humiliation, Isaac goes back to the beach. Jackson is there....

Find out what happens next in this fun novel by the amazing Jake Maddox.

Scott's the new kid at the beach and he is not warmly welcomed by Jackson and his friends. What will it take for Scott to be accepted in his new home?
Unfortunately, the solution to Scott's problem felt a little too simplistic to me.
