MIRACLE ON 49TH STREET by Mike Lupica

This book is about a girl named Molly Parker who is on a desperate search to find out who her real father is. Her mom has passed away and she now lives with a guardian. She has a letter written by her mother telling her that her father is the star guard, (Josh Cameron) for the Boston Celtics in the NBA. One day the Celtics were holding a public practice for anyone to see. Molly sees this as an opportunity to talk to her father who doesn’t know she exists. My favorite part of the story was when Molly had a basketball game and she was feeling sad because she thought of her father. She was depressed until someone unexpected came to her basketball game. Suddenly all her depression went away and she cried tears of joy. This gave her motivation to play like an all star. Does she ever find her father? Read Miracle on 49th Street to find out.
