Miracle on 49th Street
By Mike Lupica
Miracle on 49th Street is a feel good story about a little girl who needed peace and the chance to meet her dad, after the passing of her mother. Young Molly Parker lost her mother to cancer and has learned the identity of her basketball star father. While living with her mom’s college friend, Barbara and her family, Molly sets out to let Josh Cameron know that she was his daughter. Her buddy Sam helps her along the way , as does her new found friend Mattie, of self discovery and what it means to have a family again. Molly is an independent young girl on a path of no return, but will she be able to convince Barbara and more, Josh, to let her seize her opportunity to feel wanted again and the chance she desperately needs to connect to her father?
I loved this sweet little story!! I loved the strength and independence in the characters. I can see this book being a wonderful tool for kid feeling lost or abandoned and the discussions the students could have with one another would be incredible!
