Product Description:
The sequel to the #1 bestseller Travel Team.

When you're the smallest kid playing a big man's game, the challenges never stop-especially when your name is Danny Walker. Leading your travel team to the national championship may seem like a dream come true, but for Danny, being at the top just means the competition tries that much harder to knock him off. Now Danny's leaving Middletown for the summer and heading to Right Way basketball camp, where he's out of his element and maybe out of his league. The country's best ballers are in attendance, and Danny will need to raise his game if he wants to match up. But it won't be easy. Old rivals and new battles leave Danny wondering if he really has what it takes to stand tall.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Another Danny Walker hit!
Danny Walker returns this time with even more baggage and more adventures. The majority of the book takes place at Josh Cameron's Right Way camp. The usual gang is back with Ty Ross, Will Stoddard, and yes even Tess. A few more characters come into this book as well and you will be excited to read it. This book will have you turning pages through and through until the very exciting end. Any sports loving kid will love this book and you know what those ones who don't like sports will love it too.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - another winner
As a middle school literacy teacher, I am always looking for books my students will want to read. Mike Lupica's never disappoint. My boys, in particular, love them, and I am impressed with the way Lupica deals with the dilemmas his characters face. This is another great story.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Summer Ball
Have you ever been too small for something and had someone not pick you, let you go on a ride, etc. This is what Danny Walker deals with all the time with basketball. This book is called Summer Ball by Mike Lupica.

After being cut from his 8th grade basketball team because he was to small Danny makes his own team, which ends up winning the National Championship. He now is going to a basketball camp called Right Way. This camp is run by Josh Cameron and made up of the best ballers in ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Tied With First Book
The beginning made me unsure but once he got to camp (or met Tarik) I knew it would be good. I was worried that Danny would walk over everyone, but between Rasheed (at first) Lamar ( He doesn't deserve to be Named after Lamar Odom) and Coach "My Way" Powers I had plenty of people to hate (Teddy was absent because Richie told the mafia to get him). Powers was tied with Lamar and Teddy for biggest jerk in history, his quotes, (after Danny wins the game by using his own play) "You used your own play ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A SLAM DUNK of good reading!!!
Hey! I'm a 15 year old guy that loves sports and plays them with passion. This book, Summer Ball, brings back loads of memories from sports camps that I've attended, especially those competitive ones.

In this book, the main character is again Danny Walker just like it was in Mike Lupica's other basketball book, Travel Team. This book highlights many things that a teenage boy would definitely want to do. That includes sneaking out to meet girls, playing sports, and hanging with friends. ... Read More
