    About this audiobook

    Twelve-year-old Danny Walker knows something the coaches don't: You can't measure heart.

    Danny Walker may be the smallest kid on the basketball court, but don't tell him that. Because no one plays with a bigger love of the game. Or a better sense of how to hit the open player with the perfect pass. Which is why his world shatters when he is cut from the local travel team for being too small. Not just any travel team, either-the very same one his father had led to the national championship on ESPN when he was a kid.

    Turns out Danny wasn't the only kid cut for the wrong reasons. And Danny's father is about to give them all a second chance-something he could use himself. After washing out of the NBA, Richie Walker washed out of life, too. But together, these castoffs prove something Danny knew all along: You can't measure heart.

    In the tradition of The Bad News Bears and Hoosiers, author, nationally syndicated sportswriter, and ESPN personality Mike Lupica delivers a rousing tale of the underdog that will leave you cheering to the final word.

      This book is one of my least favorite books that i have ever read . This kid trys to make the basketball team but the promblem is that he is so short that he cant make the team. So the main reasonm i droped this book is that i thought it got a little dry in the middle of the book. I hope that when you pick up this book you will have a better eperience that me.

      This was a good book that showed the will power of a short kid that wanted to play basketball even though people said he couldn't.

      Ethan ArmbrusterThis book is Realistic fictionThis book is about a kid named Danny and he is a finatic on basketball. This year when Danny tries out for the team he doesn't make it because he is small compared to the other kids on his team. His dad gets angry about it so he starts his own team, but once he gets in a car accident he is out for coaching the rest of the season. This book was rteally boring at first but got a little interesting and then just got boring for the rest of the book I would not reccomend this book.

      I read this upon my 12-year olds insistance. It is a predictable feel-good story about overcoming a series of obstacles and learning to be a leader. For a young adults it is an excellent read, I am sure.

      I am a huge basketball fan so I thought this book would be good... I was right. A boy named Danny is 4 foot 6 and loves the game basketball. He tries out for a travel team, but he gets rejected. But that won't stop danny playing the game he loves. This book is good for people who love hard work.

      Travel Team is a great summer book to read when you have nothing to do. Travel Team is suprising some what sad and funny . The main charcter nis Danny Walker and his father Richie Walker. If you like sports and you like to laugh at jokes heres the book for you.

      Danny is really fast, he loves basketball, and he is good at it. In basketball they dont want speed though, they want tall people and thats something Danny isn't. So how does his dad help him out? read the book and find out!
