Summer Ball by Mike Lupica

Danny the Underdog triumphs once again in Summer Ball, sports writer Mike Lupica's brand-new sequel to his popular Travel Team. Danny Walker, still struggling with his lack of height both on and off the court, goes to Right Way, a summer basketball camp in Maine owned by a pro basketball star. Joining Danny and his friends Will and Ty (also in Travel Team) is Rasheed Hill, previously their opponent but now on the same team at camp. Summer Ball is action-packed and full of suspense guaranteed to entertain and excite middle school fans of Mike Lupica and basketball.

If you liked Travel Team, you'll love Summer Ball. And if you like Mike Lupica, try Heat and Miracle on 49th Street, also by him. Other great basketball books to read are Night Hoops by Carl Deuker and Last Shot: A Final Four Mystery by John Feinstein.
