Its simple. All Billy Raynor wants to do is shoot. After all, he is one of the best shooters in the league. But with his dad as his coach, and his parents newly separated, somehow everythings become complicated. His brother Ben, the piano prodigy, hardly talks anymore. His mom is always traveling on business. And his dad is always on his case about not being a team player. But when Bens piano recital falls on the same day as the championship game, it is Billy who teaches his dad the true meaning of being a team player.
#1 New York Times bestseller Mike Lupica scores from downtown with this new series for young middle-grade readers.

- Another Lupica winner!
I have been a big fan of Mike Lupica the author for quite sometime now since, Travel Team and I love this book. At some points it can lose it's luster but it is a great piece of literature. Billy Raynor is a ten year old basketball player who has suddenly been thrust into the position of man of the house when his jerk of a father leaves. This book takes you through the thoughts of a ten year old and is true to the way ten year olds think. This is a great read for kids of any age.
Rating: - Hoop-hoop-hoop!
As a Language Arts teacher, I am always searching for books that will get my young male charges into reading, especially those kids who think that athletes don't need to be able to read to succeed. Telling them this just doesn't work, but getting them to read things they can relate to does! Hot Hand is one of those books.

Billy passed? Mike Lupica's book Hot Hand was a great book. Billy Raynor is a basketball player in the Rec. league. His dad was his coach and was extremely tough.

Billy's parents are divorced and he was having a tough time. Billy got suspended from school because he got into a fight. Ben, my favorite character, was ... Read More
