‘With a bolt of lightning on my kicks . . . The court is SIZZLING. My sweat is DRIZZLING. Stop all that quivering. Cuz tonight I’m delivering’12-year-old Josh and his twin Jordan have basketball in their blood.
They’re kings of the court, star players for their school team.
Their father used to be a champion player and they each want nothing more than to follow in his footsteps. Both on and off the court, there is conflict and hardship which will test Josh’s bond with his brother.
In this heartfelt novel in verse, the boys find that life doesn’t come with a play-book and it’s not all about winning.

I liked this book because the whole book is written in poems and every couple of pages is a new poem.

It was a graphic novel. The ending was sad but still good.

The crossover is an amazing book about a boy who plays basketball. Many unexpected events occur to him. The author tells a great story through poetry.

Had a sad ending. Also somebody, um, *spoiler alrt* passes.. I don't like books where that happens.

This is the sequel to Rebound. A funny, sad and poignant read. This book focuses on Chuck's 12 year old twin boys, Josh and Jordan. They follow in their father's footsteps and love to play basketball. Is there going to be a 3rd book on the way? Would read it too.

I would recommend this book to everyone. It is about two boys who both love basketball, and their dad used to be a basketball player. It is funny and exciting.
