Travel Team by Mike Lupica

Danny Walker loves basketball more than anything, but when he’s cut from his town’s travel team for being too short, his world falls apart. His father, once a local basketball legend who lost his own shot at greatness, decides to give Danny and other overlooked kids a chance. Together, they form their own team — a group of misfits determined to prove that heart and teamwork matter more than height.

Full of determination, redemption, and the power of believing in yourself, Travel Team is an inspiring story about second chances both on and off the court.
