Crossover

Crossover by Kwame Alexander, 237 pages


This is a novel told in verse about two basketball players.  Jordan and Josh, or JB and Filthy, as they are known, are twins and phenomenal on the court.  They are best friends until JB meets a cute new girl in school and their friendship starts to become frayed.  Filthy is jealous but doesn’t want to admit it and JB is obsessed with his girl and has been spending less time at home with his brother, and less time playing ball too.  Add into the mix the worry that their father may be ill and the situation could become explosive.  This was a great book that will probably have a lot of appeal for teen boys.
