Lupica, Mike. Travel Team. NY, Philomel Books, 2004. 274 pages. (Sports Fiction)Danny Walker, all though he’s the smallest kid in his grade, is trying out for the 7th grade Travel Team (basketball). Danny’s dad, Richie Walker, came to town on one of his annual visits to Middletown. When things go from okay to awful, Danny and Richie become closer than ever. Danny also becomes friends with some unexpected people throughout the book. Read the pages of Travel Team to find out more about Danny and Richie Walker and all their unexpected friends have to offer! I think that Travel Team is an excellent book to read, and I think that it shows that, through tough times, there is always someone to fall back on even if it happens to be someone unexpected! I would recommend this book to anyone who likes sports, basketball in particular.
