"With a bolt of lightning on my kicks . . .The court is SIZZLING. My sweat is DRIZZLING. Stop all that quivering. Cuz tonight I'm delivering," announces dread-locked, 12-year old Josh Bell. He and his twin brother Jordan are awesome on the court. But Josh has more than basketball in his blood, he's got mad beats, too, that tell his family's story in verse, in this fast and furious middle grade novel of family and brotherhood.
Josh and Jordan must come to grips with growing up on and off the court to realize breaking the rules comes at a terrible price, as their story's heart-stopping climax proves a game-changer for the entire family.

ReplyDeleteI want to read the crossover because I love sporty books. It seems like it could be a really interesting story. Plus a lot of people have trouble becoming a sports player because of their family so I wanna know how he deals with it. It kind of reminds me of my problem when I wanted to play basketball but my mom didn't want me to because I was a girl. I ended up playing anyways though. So I wanna see how he deals with such situations. Also I like books in verse so this will be perfect. Mostly because I usually don't understand what it means so I have to stop and think about it. It gets me more concentrated. Hope I like this book and by the cover it seems like it will have a happy ending.
ReplyDeleteI, Haseeb Ahmed, took a brief glimpse of the cover of the book 'The Crossover' and immediately decided to eventually read this novel. I have a supreme interest in sports, especially basketball, which is my favorite sport. The fact that the cover has a picture of a basketball player on the front, just glues my mind onto this book.
ReplyDeleteThe first thing you see when you get a book is the cover, and this one can't be judged. With an intriguing format and in depth details of a twin brother relationship its a great read. I think the theme of the book is you're never thankful for the things you have until they're gone. I can support this because to them there dad meant a lot but the two never thought about how it would be without him. When JB and Filthy fought filthy began to realize how difficult life really was without his twin supporting him.I believe through own personal experience that when you're close to someone you tend to outline the flaws in character rather than the strengths. This book was an example of that with lots of irony and sarcasm in the beginning later connecting it all with a sad ending.
