Summer Ball
by Mike Lupica

Danny Walker, a thirteen year old, has already led his basketball travel team to the championship and now he is going to Right Way Basketball Camp. There he faces old rivals and new challenges. First, he gets put in a cabin for 11-12 year olds. There he meets Zack Fox, a kid who would rather be at home than at a basketball camp. Then, he gets put on a team that has Rasheed Hill on it. He played for the team Danny beat in the travel finals. Rasheed and their new coach don’t think Danny should even be on the court.
The bad news just keeps on coming. He gets yelled at a lot by his coach. He makes some bad plays in games where his team should have won. He only gets to play one quarter. As his team moves closer to the championship, can Danny urge himself to keep on trying as hard as he can? Read it and find out!
This was a great book and I highly recommend it. It is a great book for people who love sports, but don’t like to read as much. The plot keeps you wanting to read more. It is an awesome book and I would rate it ten out of ten. Enjoy reading, Summer Ball.
