My thoughts about the children's literature that I read which hopefully help my K-5 students and parents find a great book

The Crossover
This was this year's Newbery Medal winner (FIC ALE). It is written in verse style...like a poem. The main character, Josh, raps and rhymes as he tells his story of his mad hoops skills and his beautiful dreadlocks that help him fly! But when his twin gets a girlfriend, Josh is jealous and lonely and their relationship changes... as does his game after an incident on the court. To make matters worse, his famous dad is ignoring health concerns. How can a kid concentrate on his game?
