After he is cut from his travel basketball team--the very same team that his father once led to national prominence--twelve-year-old Danny Walker forms his own team of cast-offs that might have a shot at victory. Danny Walker didn't make the travel team which is impossible. He's one of the best players and he's made the team for the last two years. But...he's short. He knows it's the reason he was cut. It doesn't help that the coach and his own dad were the town's best basketball players years ago, but his dad ended up being the bigger star. Rich Walker ended up being so big that you can Google him. His career ended after a car accident and since then he's been an absent dad. But when he sees his son play and sees how good he is, he decides it's time to get back in his kid's life. He should have made the team. He's going to coach his own travel team with his son and the other kids who didn't make the cut. It's a stretch, but with the right coach, maybe it's possible to win. Lupica has the market on middle grade books about basketball. Every library must have Lupica books for the sports kids. READ AN EXCERPT After he is cut from his travel basketball team – the very same team his father once led to national prominence – Danny Walker forms his own team of cast-offs who might have a shot at victory This book is one of my least favorite books that i have ever read . This kid trys to make the basketball team but the promblem is that he is so short that he cant make the team. So the main reasonm i droped this book is that i thought it got a little dry in the middle of the book. I hope that when you pick up this book you will have a better eperience that me. no reviews | add a review
