Like Mike

The Magic is in your HeartThirteen-year-old Calvin doesn't have a lot going for him. He lives in an orphanage run by an unscrupulous manager. Because of his age, it's doubtful he'll ever be adopted. One day, a strange pair of sneakers is delivered to the orphanage by a tall, shadowy figure who looks a lot like...Michael Jordan. Calvin tries the sneakers on, and yeessss! He can suddenly play...well, like Mike! He's recruited as a 'novelty' by the NBA, where he learns that he doesn't really need magical sneakers to be great, and he teaches a star player the meaning of family.Like Mike, was published 2002 under ISBN 9780439445276 and ISBN 0439445272.
