I would recommend this book to any reader that enjoys basketball, life experience, and family experience. Told in verse, this rhyming, rapping, rhythmic novel is fast, thoughtful, calm and chaotic. Each of these mini chapters takes on its own role of creating experiences for the reader to learn more about the story, as they grow to love the Bell family and their journey through basketball’s game of life. An electric and heartfelt follow-up to Newbery Medalwinner The Crossover, from the dynamic team behind the graphic novel edition. OR IS IT?Īll ages will enjoy this life-changing book that teaches about courage, self-identity and family relationships.
