Reading Level 5.8+
Imagine you love a football more than almost anything. You could sack a scrambling quarterback.
You think a basketball is the most beautiful round object you’ve ever seen, especially the way it can go SWISH through a goal without even touching the rim, a sound as sweet as a waterfall. And you can dunk a ball better than anyone else on the court.
You can high-jump 5'10" in a track meet. You even jumped 6'5" once during practice.
What if you want to become one of the greatest athletes of all time?
AND - you were born with just one leg.
Welcome to the world of Carl Joseph. Born into a family of ten, with a mother who worked in a tobacco field for less than $3 a day, Carl knew his dream was as likely as a rock singing “Thriller.“
But you don’t know Carl. And until you read this book, you won’t understand how a physical difference of having just one leg turned into a superhero-like strength.
In 2009 Carl was inducted into the Florida High School Athletic Hall of Fame.
CBS Sport’s Dan Dierdorf calls Carl, “The most amazing athlete I’ve ever seen.”
Roger Staubach calls Carl, “An inspiration to everybody.“
This book, written for middle-school readers, encourages sports-minded kids to write like sports reporters.
