Mike Lupica’s twenty-four standalone novels span both adult and young adult fiction. The adult titles — Jump, Bump and Run, Wild Pitch, Red Zone, Full Court Press — are sports-world thrillers dealing with the dark side of professional athletics. The YA novels — Miracle on 49th Street, Million-Dollar Throw, The Batboy, Hero, True Legend — follow young athletes through personal and athletic challenges.
The standalones cover multiple sports and multiple age ranges, but all reflect Lupica’s conviction that sports stories are really about character, pressure, and what people do when everything is on the line.
