![]() Twins Josh and Jordan were raised with a ball in their hands by their father, a retired professional basketball player. On court they dominate and make an unbeatable team. Off court, things aren't going as well. When an off-court argument leads to an on-court lash out Josh gets kicked off the team. Then, just when everything in his life seems to be coming apart at the seams, things take a turn for the worse. I absolutely adored this novel even if it did rip my heart out and dribble it around for a while. The game descriptions, the language of the poetry, the family relationships at play--this book has so much to offer! I'd give it to fans of basketball or poetry or just those looking for a good story with a strong emotional impact.
