The crossover alexander6/26/2023 Oftentimes, the basketball lingo and Josh’s internal monologue intermix, and readers will find that the verses enhance the experience. As with the prequel novel Rebound, his free-verse poetry works really well with the beat of the basketball games and Josh’s narration. Kwame Alexander’s The Crossover is told in free-verse poetry. Josh and JB must deal with the consequences of everyone’s actions-including their own. Meanwhile, the boys’ father’s health is on the decline, despite Chuck’s utter denial. But when Alexis walks right into the twins’ lives and steals JB’s heart, Josh is left without his best friend by his side. Untouchable and unstoppable-the sons of former professional basketball player Chuck “Da Man” Bell couldn’t be anything less than excellent. Twelve-year-old Josh and his twin JB Bell are the kings of the basketball court.
