Travel Team is a young adult novel by columnist Mike Lupica about a boy named Danny Walker who is cut from his travel basketball team because of his short stature, so his father Richie responds by forming a new travel team made up of players who were cut or did not try out.[1] The novel was a children's chapter book New York Times best seller for 3 months,[2][3] and was based in part on Lupica's experience when his son was cut from a basketball team.[1]
