"A beautifully measured novel of life and line."--The New York Times Book Review

The Crossover is now a graphic novel

"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," raps twelve-year-old Josh Bell. Thanks to their dad, he and his twin brother, Jordan, are kings on the court. But Josh has more than basketball in his blood--he's got mad beats, too, which help him find his rhythm when it's all on the line.

See the Bell family in a whole new light through Dawud Anyabwile's dynamic illustrations as the brothers' winning season unfolds, and the world as they know it begins to change.

  • A poetic cross section from the life of a young man's life.

    Victor G. - 1 year 7 months ago

    Told in a series of poems from the perspective of the main character, this story engages the reader with its emotional skew and flowing form. The poems range in format from simple free-verse to concrete poetry, which gives a visual rhythm to scenes such as the prominently featured basketball games. The story allows the reader an uncommonly personal look at the inner workings of the main character, his family, his sports, and his psychological and emotional development. Definitely worth a read.
