#1 bestseller and former National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature, Jason Reynolds presents a new addition to his beloved Track series. Before Coach was the man who gave firm-handed guidance to the Defenders track team, he was little Otie Brody, who was obsessed with Mr. 9.99 (a.k.a. Carl Lewis). Then his dad, who is always away on business trips, comes home with a pair of JORDANS. Fine as fine can be. Otie puts them on and feels like he can leap to the moon. But one morning, he wakes with a fuzzy memory of his dad easing his secret weapon kicks off his feet–and now, not only are the Jordans missing, but so is his father.
