Everyone at Apex Prep knows who will win the Iron Clash.
Ryder Knox is bigger, faster, stronger, and undefeated. Students admire him. Teachers praise him. His name is already treated like a legend.
Jayce Miller is the opposite.
He is quiet, overlooked, and used to staying out of the way. He does not have Ryder's strength or confidence, but he notices things other people miss. While everyone else prepares to overpower the competition, Jayce begins searching for another way to win.
As the Iron Clash approaches, Jayce discovers that Ryder may not be the champion everyone believes he is. Speaking up could make Jayce a target, but staying silent would allow fear and intimidation to keep controlling the school.
To stand against the strongest student at Apex Prep, Jayce will need more than muscle. He will need courage, focus, and faith in the small skills everyone else has ignored.
The Underdog is a fast paced middle grade story about courage, strategy, friendship, and standing tall when the odds seem impossible. It is the first book in The Unseen Thread series, a collection of complete standalone adventures connected by hidden patterns from some of the world's oldest stories.
