Great Book don’t bother with Hero
I ordered Travel Team and Hero by the same author Mike Lupica mainly for the book Hero which I had seen in a store and Travel Team because while researching Hero on Amazon.com it had good reviews. When they arrived luckily I picked up Travel Team and read it first. I thought it was a great young adult fiction book. I loved the characters and the story and was disappointed when it ended it left me wanting more and there were unaswered questions. After finishing the book I went back to Amzon.com and discovered thre was a second book Summer Ball which I am now reading. After finishing Travel Team I read Hero, a big disappointment. Thank goodness I didn’t read it first. For suspense the main character keeps going back and forth asking “Uncle John” and Mr. Edmond questions about his father and his death and they keep giving him cryptic vague double-speak answers that I guess is suspose to be suspenseful. Do people really answer questions that way with vague nonsenesical answers. Also for a book with the title Hero there is very little action. Read Travel Team and skip Hero

Great read with your basketball fanatic!
I had to do a silent reading assignment with my 7th grader. He chose this book not really knowing if I’d enjoy it. I’m so glad he did, I LOVED this book! It was a real page turner and if you’re into basketball you could imagine all the plays they talked about and play them in your head. I’m looking forward to reading more books like this one. I’m even more glad that I bonded with my son a little more over this book.

the best player, who breaks his wrist later on
Summer reading projectBy: Gianni LeonardoTravel teamBook reviewThis book is about a young basketball player named Danny Walker. He tries hard to get on the basketball team. Danny usually makes the team, until this year, When he didn’t make the team, he felt confused. He later found out that he didn’t make the team because he was too small. Danny’s dad decides to make a team for him. Danny’s dad used to play basketball until he got in a car crash. They then won a couple of games and eventually made playoffs. Danny’s dad then gets in another car crash. After that, the best player, who breaks his wrist later on, joins the Middletown Vikings.I highly recommend this book to everyone, especially if you love basketball. The book is very suspenseful. Every chapter has its own problem to be solved. The characters are very relate able, which makes the book even better. Once you pick the book up, you can’t put it down.The theme of this book, is not to give up. Even though Danny was cut from his team, he still kept going. And believed in himself and kept his head up high and didn’t doubt himself. Even through the darkest times, Danny still has hope for his team. I think if you play basketball or any sport in general and you are having trouble of making the team this book will show you to not have doubt, to be confident and keep trying. Hopefully this will show you a little bit about the book . You can learn from Danny’s experiences from his problems. !
