My book is MIracle on 49th street written by Mike Lupica.The characters i’m focusing on are Molly and her dad they live in Boston.Molly’s mom passed away so now she lives with a family friend.Her dad plays in the NBA and doesn’t know he has a daughter.He dated her mom in college but they broke up.Molly’s traits are determined,smart,and anxious.

Molly was determined to get her dad to believe she is his daughter.She stopped him after a game in the parking lot.she also jumped in the back of his car and hid and rode to his house.Then she jumped on a train to New York.I think she will stay determined and if she wants something later in life she won’t stop until she gets it.

Molly is also very smart.She creates a plan with her best friend Sam to get her her dad to talk to her.After the plan he lets her hang around with him.She tricks him into taking so time to talk to her.I think that as she grows up and finishes school she will be even smarter.When she gets older a lot of people might come to her for help figuring a problem or something like that out.

I was actually running down the hill to meet the coquito man, who we called Papa Juan, and I was stopped by a police officer.…
