Publisher Description
Josh Cameron is basketball royalty–MVP of the Championship Boston Celtics and a media darling with a spotless reputation. He’s got it all, including something he never even knew he had: a daughter. Twelve-year-old Molly Parker catches Josh off guard. Molly claims her mother, Jen, revealed his true identity before losing her battle with cancer. Of course, Josh doesn’t believe her. Still, there is something about Molly–a certain look she gets and her smart-aleck way that reminds Josh so much of Jen. Yet as Molly gets to know Josh, it’s she who has the doubts. Suddenly she understands why her mother never wanted her to know the real Josh Cameron, the one the camera never sees. Josh has room in his heart for only two things: basketball and himself. Does Molly really want this man for a father? New York Times best-selling author and ESPN personality Mike Lupica introduces this hoop story with heart just in time for the holidays. Another undeniable winner.

" I read this to recommend to my seventh grade students, and it was my first Lupica book... I was impressed by how well-written it was. It's an enjoyable read that I have heartily recommended to both boys and girls. Heart-warming, and the sports aspect was cool! "

" It is a very touching story. The book shows that you can do anything with determination. I think anyone over the age of 8 would like it. "

" this book is really good. i'm too tired to write much, but i would reccommend it to ANYONE. "

" This book is so predictable! Molly's mom dies and she has to live with her mom's friend. Then she goes off looking for her dad, which of couse is a famous basketball player! And of course he doesn't believe her. Well you can guess the rest because you know what is going to happen. The dad finally realizes she is the daughter and they live happily ever after. I don't recommend this to anyone! It's like food with no taste. "

" 12-year-old Molly wants to meet Boston Celtics MVP Josh Cameron. Not because she loves basketball, or because she wants his autograph. She wants to tell him that her mother has died, and for the last 12 years, her mother has kept the secret that he is her father. "

" I thought this book was excellent! Grown ups may not want to read it becauase it is aimed at 12yr olds or below. It is still a great story about how a girl finds her dad and tries to make him believe. "
