Travel Team by Mike Lupica

A delightful, dare I say heart-warming, YA sports novel with a short but quick protagonist, a mom who quotes old-school song lyrics, and a dad, well - you'll just have to meet him.

HE KNEW HE WAS SMALL.
He just didn't think he was small.
Big difference.


Danny Walker, even at twelve, was smart enough to know this about girls: They were smarter than boys already. They were smarter about all the important stuff in life that didn't include sports, and would stay smarter from now on, which meant that he and the rest of the boys would be playing catch-up, trying to come from behind, the rest of the way.
