Reviews
2015 Newbery Medal Winner 2015 Coretta Scott King Honor Award Winner * "This novel in verse is rich in character and relationships. . . . Poet Alexander deftly reveals the power of the format to pack an emotional punch." -- Kirkus , starred review * "Alexander fully captures Josh's athletic finesse and coming-of-age angst in a mix of free verse and hip-hop poetry that will have broad appeal. . . . This will inspire budding players and poets alike." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books , starred review * "The poems dodge and weave with the speed of a point guard driving for the basket, mixing basketball action with vocabulary-themed poems, newspaper clippings, and Josh's sincere first-person accounts that swing from moments of swagger-worth triumph to profound pain." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review * "Alexander has crafted a story that vibrates with energy and heat and begs to be read aloud. A slam dunk." -- School Library Journal, starred review "Concrete poems that simulate on-court action, the novel's organization into "four quarters" (plus "warm-up" and "overtime") and a smattering of their father's 10 rules of basketball--as applicable to life as they are to the game--will draw in less avid readers, and the fully-fleshed characters and Josh's spellbinding wordplay will keep all readers riveted to find out if the brothers can mend the breach in their once iron-clad bond" -- Shelf Awareness "An accomplished author and poet, Alexander eloquently mashes up concrete poetry, hip-hop, a love of jazz, and a thriving family bond. The effect is poetry in motion." -- Booklist " The Crossover is destined to reach--and touch--readers who never gave basketball or poetry a second thought until now. It''s tough, muscular writing about a tender, unguarded heart." -- BookPage "[Alexander]'s at the top of his poetic game in this taut, complex tale of the crossover from brash, vulnerable boy to young adult." -- Washington Post "Since poet Alexander has the swagger and cool confidence of a star player and the finesse of a perfectly in-control ball-handler, wordplay and alliteration roll out like hip-hop lyrics, and the use of the concrete forms and playful font changes keep things dynamic." --Horn Book Magazine "Kwame Alexander''s sizzling, heartfelt story-in-verse gives readers that rich sense of SWISH! we feel when a basketball drops perfectly through a net. Quick timing, snazzy cadence, a wealth of energy and deep affection for sports, family and life in general - it''s all here, in these gripping scenes." --Naomi Shihab Nye, National Book Award Finalist "The characters of Kwame Alexander's verse-novel entered my heart, as it showed the many ways in which the basketball, the truth, love, and life cross over and between us." -- Marilyn Nelson, Newbery Honor winning author "The Crossover is a masterful mix of rhythm and heart that tells the story of two brothers navigating the deep waters of love, loyalty, and championship play. Alexander''s verse is fluid and electric, poignant and wise, skillfully chronicling main character Josh''s tough lessons as he comes to realize that "true champions / learn / to dance / through / the storm." -- Joyce Sidman, Newbery Honor winning author "Bold! Explosive! Yet still gently poetic. I love The Crossover. Everyone will." -- Nikki Giovanni "Kwame Alexander's cadenced basketball novel is a gem of poise and grace. His players come alive with the precision and control of an orchestrated musical composition. The poetry of the telling rings through to the heart. The Crossover crosses over as a gift to all ages." -- Ashley Bryan, Two-time Coretta Scott King Award winner, * "This novel in verse is rich in character and relationships. . . .
