The kid from Calico Rock, Arkansas, dazzles Chicago Cubs fans as he hits home run after home run, politely tipping his hat to the crowd as he shatters all rookie records. Calico Joe quickly becomes the idol of every baseball fan in America, including Paul Tracey, the young son of a hard-partying and hard-throwing New York Mets pitcher. On the day that Warren Tracey finally faces Calico Joe, Paul is in the stands, rooting for his idol but also for his dad. Then Warren throws a fastball that will change their lives forever. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eDon't miss John Grisham's new book, \u003c\/i\u003eTHE EXCHANGE: AFTER \u003ci\u003eTHE FIRM!\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Diversified\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/10\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780307990747\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.27h x 6.16w x 0.65d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLarge Print\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/06\/2012 pg. 79\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e151750 \/ Calico Joe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.9 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 7\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"John Grisham","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44413548953781,"sku":"9780307990747","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_cf4df706-7790-4e02-ac8a-690f04a02ebb.jpg?v=1720537591","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/calico-joe-9780307990747","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
