nerd teacher [books] reviewed The Crossover by Kwame Alexander
Siblings and growing up.
4 stars
This book was lovely. The structure really made it interesting, forcing you to reread things to get the right flow because sometimes lines played double duty.
The effects of growing up on a sibling relationship was such a wonderful background to this story, though I think it might have too much of a sports focus for me. It was really easy to feel the frustration of the characters with their father, wanting him to take care of himself.
