X-WR-CALDESC:Join us in conversation with bestselling author Jason Reynolds
  as we discuss his latest work\, Coach\, the fifth–and last–entry in the h
 ighly popular Track series. Following the immersive stories of Ghost\, Lu\
 , Patina\, and Sunny\, it’s finally time for Coach to shine in his own boo
 k as we discover: Who was Coach before he became an inspiring leader?\n\nB
 efore Coach was the man who gave caring yet firm-handed guidance to Ghost\
 , Lu\, Patina\, and Sunny on the Defenders track team\, he was little Otie
  Brody\, who was obsessed with Mr. 9.99 (a.k.a. Carl Lewis) and Marty McFl
 y from Back to the Future. Like Mr. 9.99—and his own dad—Otie is a sprinte
 r. Sprint free or die is practically his motto.\n\nThen his dad\, who is a
 lways away on business trips\, comes home with a pair of Jordans. JORDANS.
  Fine as fine can be. Otie puts them on and feels like he can leap to the 
 moon…maybe even leap like Mr. 9.99 when he won the Olympic gold medal in t
 he long jump. But one morning he wakes up to find his brand-new secret wea
 pon kicks are missing—right off his feet! And Otie just might have a fuzzy
  memory of his dad easing them off as Otie was sleeping\, but that can’t b
 e right\, can it?\n\nUnless all the reasons for his dad’s “gone’s” are ver
 y different from what he’s been told… Because now\, not only are the Jorda
