The Crossover: Graphic Novel by Kwame Alexander

4.0

This novel-in-verse follows the story of Josh Bell, a 12-year-old basketball player, who is learning how to navigate through the changes that come with growing up. He and his twin brother, Jordan, begin to learn that life won't always be about basketball.

I love poetry novels so of course, I enjoyed this book. The world-building was great and really helped to slowly immerse the reader into Josh's life. Some parts felt a little rushed and then other parts felt like they dragged on, but I still think this is a great read for middle schoolers.
