“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.
A coming-of-age sports novel for middle grade and young teen listeners, ages 10 and up. Narrates the unabridged novel; read-along compatible with the print edition.
Performed by Audie Award and Emmy Award-winning narrator Tavia Gilbert.
“Gilbert’s splendid portrayals will thoroughly engage listeners.” — AudioFile

“An inspirational pick for young adult fiction collections.” — Midwest Book Review
Named one of the best track-and-field novels of all time by CITIUS Mag.
Contains no profanity or sexual content. Honest treatment of grief, family loss, and recovery.

“Comes along at the perfect time. Girls who play sports and the coaches and families who support them will thoroughly enjoy this warm, uplifting story.”
“An inspirational pick for young adult fiction collections.”
“Overstake’s novel exudes sweetness; in some ways, it feels as if it takes place in another era, as it lacks the dark edge seen in other popular YA stories. Former sportswriter Overstake’s crisp style also gives the pole-vaulting scenes authenticity and tension. The story will most likely engage younger teenage girls, but its themes will resonate with anyone who has suffered profound loss. A fine YA novel about perseverance in sports and in life.”
“Tavia Gilbert thoroughly conveys Maggie Steele’s grief when her brother, Alex, dies in an accident. Gilbert beautifully delivers the detailed descriptions of Maggie’s life at school and at home on her family’s Kansas farm…Gilbert’s splendid portrayals of Maggie’s real-life coach, teammates, and parents…will thoroughly engage listeners.”
“I myself experienced loss when I was a young girl. Sports were my outlet and helped me through some of the hardest times of my life. This book captured me cover to cover. I highly recommend Maggie Vaults Over the Moon!”
“A fantastic book! Well put together and very inspirational!”
“Every single person should be able to relate to Maggie.”
“One of the most pure and wholesome young adult books I’ve ever read!”
“I highly recommend it for all teens, especially those seeking direction during the storm and stress of adolescence.”
“A great family book!”
“The positive influence this book can have on young athletes is incalculable.”
“Maggie’s inspirational story will make any girl feel like they can accomplish their dreams.”
“A great story of perseverance, grit, faith, and bouncing back after hardships.”
“A beautiful story of triumph through adversity.”
“Instantly transported me back to my childhood. Will translate to anyone who allows themselves to be young at heart.”
"This inspiring tale celebrates the courage to turn tragedy and loss into something positive and how the determination to master a sport can heal.”
