About the stories

The Crossover: 12-year-old Josh and his twin Jordan have basketball in their blood. They’re kings of the court and the stars of their school team. With a father who was a champion player, both boys dream of following in his footsteps. But success on the hardwood can’t shield them from conflict and heartbreak. This Newbery Medal-winning novel uses spare, rhythmic verse to explore brotherhood, rivalry, and growing up.

Booked: Follow twelve-year-old Nick, a football-mad boy who absolutely hates books, as he navigates the tricky middle-school world of family change, bullies, and first crushes. In this accessible, lyric follow-up to The Crossover, themes of friendship, identity, and resilience come to life — making it a natural pick for reluctant readers and classroom reading units.

Rebound: Set in 1988, Rebound follows Charlie Bell as he grapples with grief, friendship, and the discovery of basketball when a summer with his grandparents changes everything. This prequel enriches the universe of the series and gives deeper context to the family history at the heart of Kwame Alexander’s work.
