The Crossover is a amazing book written by Kwame Alexander. This book is fire and any sixth grader would like it. The book is about 2 basketball prodigys JB and Josh Bell. They are two twins each with the same dream. There dad is a basketball legend known as "Da Man." He is afraid of doctors which comes to bite him in the back. The book is written in free verse poetry and classical. Kwame be spittin some sick line. For example "He's a backcourt baller on a break, a running gunning shooting star, flying fast. JBs fixing for the claas-bounce bounce ball beside him now hes getting flyer and flyer, climbing sky. He nods his head and pumps a fake, explodes the lane. Cross ball cross ball and takes the break kaboom. Above the rim, a thunderous almost dunk. That elbow just sent JB Kerplunk to the floor. Foul." Kwame Alexander won A Corretta scot award and a Newberry Honor award. Kwame is currently living in Reston, Virgina. In general this book is like nothing I have ever read before. Best book ever.
