The Crossover Written By Kwame Alexander

Book Cover - The Crossover

This book is officially one of my favorites! I’ve read this book at least ten times. This book is a good mix of basketball and a solid rap rhyme on every page. This book is a rhythmic read that keeps you on your toes in the point of view of a young athlete by the name of Josh Bell. He and his twin brother are the stars of their high school basketball team. However, terror strikes when they find out that their father has high cholesterol and could die if he doesn’t change his diet. From then on, Josh and his brother Jordan played every game for their father.
