The Crossover by Kwame Alexander (Paperback)

Twelve-year-old twins Josh and Jordan Bell are stars on the basketball court, thanks in part to their father, a former pro player. But as the boys grow up and pull in different directions, and as family troubles mount, Josh has to figure out what matters most on and off the court.

Told in vivid, rhythmic verse, Kwame Alexander's novel won the Newbery Medal and was adapted into a television series.

A fast, powerful read for middle grade readers, sports fans and reluctant readers alike.
