Crossover by Kwame Alexander


Twin brothers Josh and Jordan Bell are two middle school star basketball players, whose father was a popular and talented "baller" overseas that lost an opportunity to play for the L.A. Lakers due to an injury. In this free verse, fast-paced novel, the audience is taken through a period of these boys' lives of basketball, family, girlfriends, school, and traumatic life events. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and became deeply attached to this family, mourning at the end and longing for a different ending. The rhythmic sound of each page made this a page turner that I finished in just two hours.
