Twelve-year-old Josh Bell lives and breathes basketball, his passion matched only by his twin brother Jordan's. But Josh's world extends beyond the court; he channels his family's story and his own emotions into powerful, rhythmic verses. As the brothers navigate the challenges of growing up, they must learn that breaking the rules can have devastating consequences, impacting not just their game but their entire family. This novel-in-verse masterfully explores themes of brotherhood, family, and the difficult lessons learned both on and off the court.
