Lupica, Mike. Travel Team. NY: Philomel Books, 2004. 274 pages. (Sports Fiction.)This book is about Danny Walker who tries out for the seventh grade basketball travel team. His dad, Richie Walker, while on an annual town trip to Middletown to meet his son. He finds out that Danny did not make the travel team and gets to be close to his Richie by teaming and practicing for the next year’s team. Throughout the book, Danny meets some new unexpected friends in the book Travel Team. When you finish Travel Team you will learn that there is always someone or something to fall back on.
I think Travel Team is an excellent book to read because, it is packed with exciting moments all the way down to those times when you don’t feel good about yourself, or you just want to fit in. I recommend this book to anyone who loves basketball.
