Shoot-Out

Praise for Mike Lupica’s novels:

“Lupica is the greatest sports writer for middle school readers.”–VOYA on True Legend

“Lupica has the knowledge of the game and the lean prose to make a taut, realistic story not just about the game but about heart, character, and family.”–Kirkus Reviews on Travel Team

* “The dialogue crackles, and the rich cast of supporting characters nearly steals the show. Top-notch entertainment in the Carl Hiaasen mold.”–Booklist, starred review of Heat

“Lupica gives his readers a behind-the-scenes look at major league sports. In this novel, he adds genuine insights into family dynamics.”–Booklist on The Batboy

“Lupica will win a Pulitzer for his sportswriting one day (he should have won it already).” —The New York Times on Heat
