No Slam Dunk - Mike Lupica

Descriere No Slam Dunk - Mike Lupica

\nA sure-fire hit with readers who love sports. -Booklist \n \nA fast-paced, heartfelt story for basketball fans that proves being a good teammate remains the most important quality in basketball--and in life, from New York Times bestselling author Mike Lupica. \nWes' father always told him that there was only one ball in basketball. That you had to know when to take it yourself and when to give it up, that finding the right balance was key. So at every practice and game, Wes tries his best to be a good basketball player and, above all, a good teammate. \n \nAs the season kicks off, Wes finds that not everyone on his team has the same idea. All-star player and the Hawks' point guard, Danilo Dinero Rey seems determined to hold the spotlight and the ball, even if it means costing his team the game. If the Hawks are going to make it to the playoffs, Wes will need an assist--even if it means his most important one comes off the court. \n \nIn No Slam Dunk, #1 New York Times bestseller Mike Lupica demonstrates once again that there is no children's sports novelist today who can match his ability to weave a story of vivid sports action and heartfelt emotion. A touching story about teamwork and family, of selfishness and generosity, No Slam Dunk shows that even in the face of adversity, giving your best is the surest way to victory. \n \nPraise for Mike Lupica: \n \n-Lupica is the greatest sports writer for middle school readers.--VOYA on True Legend \n \n-Lupica will win a Pulitzer for his sportswriting one day (he should have won it already).--The New York Times on Heat\n
