"The court is HUGE, and I have a lightning bolt on my kicks. It is drizzling with perspiration. Put an end to your trembling. Because I'm delivering tonight," a terrified 12-year-old Josh Bell declares. On the floor, he and his twin brother Jordan are great. Josh, however, is more than just a basketball player; in this fast-paced middle grade tale about family and fraternity, he also has wicked rhythms that tell the narrative of his family in poetry.
Josh and Jordan's story's thrilling conclusion changes everything for the whole family, forcing them to confront growing up both on and off the court and realizing that violating the law has a horrible cost.
