Crossover

by Kwame Alexander 

             "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," wraps teenage Josh Bell. Josh has played basketball for a long time with his twin brother. They look exactly the same but Josh has dread-lox. They both have a love for the game and they know each other super well but when Jordan(Josh's brother) gets a girlfriend he starts to drift away from Josh. Josh does not know how to react so he decides to react with anger. During the game he passes the  ball into Jordan's face but not for him to shoot, he did it out of pure anger. His parents take him out of the game even though he is the star of the team. They are on the way to winning nationals but Josh's dad is starting to have health troubles but he still refuses to go to the doctor. This book was a short book and I would recommend this book to anybody, even if you don't know basketball.
