MIRACLE ON 49TH STREET by Mike Lupica

Can you believe this? A 12-year-old girl named Molly Parker’s mom died and now she is living with her mom’s friend and her family. Molly didn’t know about her dad until she found the notes that her mother wrote to her about her father Josh Cameron before she passed away. Molly is determined to find him and convince her dad, a NBA superstar for the Celtics, that she is his daughter. Josh Cameron only has two things in his life, basketball and himself. Molly tries to become a part of his life before she and her new family moves to California. My favorite part in the book is when Molly Parker hides in Josh Cameron’s truck to talk to him for the second time. She chose to do it that way because that was the only way she could talk to him in peace and quiet and so the media wouldn’t see them. Will Josh Cameron believe he is Molly’s father? Or will he still have room for only two things in his life, basketball and himself?
