The Crossover by Kwame AlexanderMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Looking for something a little different? Try The Crossover by Kwame Alexander. This fiction book about twin brothers Josh and Jordan Bell is written in verse, meaning it is narrated by character Josh Bell in a series of raps/poems. Josh and Jordan are sons of a famous basketball player, Chuck "Da Man" Bell. The twins both play basketball for their school team, and they both excel at the sport. The story is separated into quarters that parallel the structure of a basketball game. A lot happens to the Josh during the "game." This book is about family, brothers, twins, and girlfriends, and how easily life can get thrown out of balance.
