Miracle on 49th Street by Mike Lupica

Here's another sports book from Mike Lupica for all his fans. Josh Cameron, introduced to readers in Travel Team and its sequel Summer Ball, "stars" in this new book. Josh meets a girl, Molly Parker, who claims to be his daughter. There's some basketball court action, but most of the book is about Josh and Molly's attempt to begin a father-daughter relationship.

I heartily recommend Lupica's other books, and I can't wait to read Heat, another of his latest reads. Other great sports books are Night Hoops by Carl Deuker; great sport writers include John Feinstein, John Tunis, and Thomas Dygard.
