Kwame Alexander, the author of The Crossover, lets the readers go on with JB life with him from when he got his nickname until the end.The setting of the crossover is a lot of places. Like the basketball court most of the time.The main character is Jb mom and dad.You are introduced to JB when he talks about his skills.I dislike that is in poem form.This may be Hard to read for some reader. It goes back and forth between different stories and some people won't be able to follow along with it. One of my favorites quotes was when he said “ And know that I know that there is a reason for my nickname I like it”.I like this because This shows that he needed a reason to accept it.It is an ok book I say this because i do not like that it is in poem form.But it Is also good because it has a good conflict and a good Story and good characters.This is an award-winning book in the author is worth a long time on it
