Book Overview

The #1 Bestseller Twelve-year-old Danny Walker may be the smallest kid on the basketball court -- but don't tell him that. Because no one plays with more heart or court sense. But none of that matters when he is cut from his local travel team, the very same team his father led to national prominence as a boy. Danny's father, still smarting from his own troubles, knows Danny isn't the only kid who was cut for the wrong reason, and together, this washed-up former player and a bunch of never-say-die kids prove that the heart simply cannot be measured. For fans of The Bad News Bears, Hoosiers, the Mighty Ducks, and Mike Lupica's other New York Times bestselling novels Heat , The Underdogs , and Million-Dollar Throw , here is a book that proves that when the game knocks you down, champions stand tall.

Sports action and heart

By Thriftbooks.com User, April 24, 2006

I am becoming a solid Mike Lupica fan. I have never seen him on ESPN and I do not read sports writers usually but I may start in this case. I think his latest book, Heat, is one of the best books I have read this year. Danny Walker loves basketball. Danny understands the game to the very core. He understands that a key to the game is getting the ball to the shooters. Danny is a great passer. Danny is also the shortest...

Travel Team by Mike Lupica

By Thriftbooks.com User, February 16, 2006

Ever discouraged by your height? Danny Walker wasn't until he got cut from the seventh grade travel basketball team because he was too short. Everyone knew Danny was one of the best basketball players. Even the coaches that had cut him from the Vikings, the team his dad led to the championships when he was 12 knew he was one of the best. The only problem was that the coaches wanted to go big this year, meaning they wanted...

Great story and well written

By Thriftbooks.com User, January 21, 2005

Travel Team is the first novel i have read from Mike Lupica and i will be going out very soon to buy many more of his sports novels. The story of travel team is great, how a 12 year old "little man" named Danny who is very small for his age overcomes his defeats and also renews a relationship with his father, who becomes his coach. The novel is very touching at times in which Richie (his dad) is talking to Danny. The only...

The best book I have ever read!

By Thriftbooks.com User, December 17, 2004

"Travel Team" is a great book about a boy named Danny and his travel team of rejects which his Dad, Richie Walker, former NBA star and child basketball hero, coaches. The main reason I like this book is because it is realistic and gives a good picture of what kids this age can do on the court. As a youth basketball player myself, I can say the descriptions of the basketball games were phenomenal, and accurate. It was also...

Great Book

By Thriftbooks.com User, October 29, 2004

Mike Lupica has a masterpiece with this book. This is one of the best book's I have ever read. It's suggestion on the age level on this book's site isnt correct according to me. I think this book should be read by 12-15 year olds, thus because it deals with so many serious situations. This is a great comeback story, and i hope my review can convince you to by it.
