I saw that Crossover by Kwame Alexander won the Newbery Medal for 2015, so I checked it out from the library. It is about middle-schooler Josh, a star basketball player along with his twin brother Jordan. When Jordan gets a girlfriend and Josh's dad starts having health problems, Josh begins feeling isolated, and he learns some hard lessons along the way.
This was a quick read but a good one. The book is written in verse, and the author captures the story so well in this format. The characters were well-developed, and the plot was interesting. I enjoyed the book.
