X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Before Coach was the man who gave caring y
 et firm-handed guidance to Ghost\, Lu\, Patina\, and Sunny on the Defender
 s track team\, he was little Otie Brody\, who was obsessed with Mr. 9.99 (
 a.k.a. Carl Lewis) and Marty McFly from&nbsp\;Back to the Future. Like Mr.
  9.99&mdash\;and his own dad&mdash\;Otie is a sprinter. Sprint free or die
  is practically his motto.</p>\n<p>Then his dad\, who is always away on bu
 siness trips\, comes home with a pair of Jordans. JORDANS. Fine as fine ca
 n be. Otie puts them on and feels like he can leap to the moon&hellip\;may
 be even leap like Mr. 9.99 when he won the Olympic gold medal in the long 
 jump. But one morning he wakes up to find his brand-new secret weapon kick
 s are missing&mdash\;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&rsqu
 o\;t be right\, can it?</p>\n<p>Unless all the reasons for his dad&rsquo\;
 s &ldquo\;gone&rsquo\;s&rdquo\; are very different from what he&rsquo\;s b
 een told&hellip\; Because now\, not only are the Jordans missing\, but so 
 is his father.</p>\n<p>Register now to join in on the conversation about t
 he final installment to Jason Reynold&rsquo\;s&nbsp\;Track&nbsp\;series!&n
