"A fast-paced, heartfelt story for basketball fans that proves being a good teammate remains the most important quality in basketball - and in life. Mike Lupica. One of the great sportswriters and storytellers of our time." - from the rear outer jacket. "Wes's 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. As the season kicks off, Wes finds that not everyone on his team has the same idea. All-star player and the Hawks' point guard Danili "Dinero" Rey seems determined to hold the spotlight and the ball, even if it means costing his team the game. If Wes is to lead the Hawks to the playoffs, he'll need to find new ways to dish out an assist - even if it means his most important one comes off the court. In 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." - from the inner front jacket flap. "Lupica is the greatest sports writer for middle school readers." - VOYA. "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.
