“In this book Danny Walker gets cut from the travel basketball team in his town ,The Vikings, because he is "too short for their liking." And when his dad, who Danny hasn't seen in years, comes to town, he gets an idea. His dad gets together a travel team of his own ,the Warriors, saying it's for all the kids who ever got told they weren't good enough and all the kids that got cut off the team.

In the middle of the season Danny's dad gets into a bad car accident and can't coach anymore. So the team decides that Danny should coach the rest of the season. Danny doesn't want to, but finally decides to do it. In the end they face the Vikings in the playoffs. With Danny playing and coaching, they end up winning the game against the Vikings and go on to win the national championship.
This book tells you that you should never give up. When people tell you that you're not good enough, that's just their opinion! Always keep doing hat you love if you love what you do.”“Just started”

Danny and his height have been in a constant battle throughout his life and it has always been the death of him. Basketball isn't the best sport for people that do not have a height advantage, but he loves the game too much to give it up. Danny relies on his passing to make him successful in this game. ”

“This is a very good book about a young basketball player named Danny. Danny is one of the best basketball players in the city, but he gets cut from the travel team in his town because of his height. Instead of giving up, he and his Dad start their own travel team to go against the team he was cut from. I recommend this to everyone, its great!”

“I really like this book because I love basketball and it includes everything kids think while playing basketball. The book includes tons of things that you never think are gonna happen. If you read it and do not like the beggining keep reading it gets a lot better.”
