"With a bolt of lightning on my kicks . . . The court is SIZZLING. My sweat is DRIZZLING. Stop all that quivering. 'Cuz tonight I'm delivering," raps twelve-year-old Josh Bell. Thanks to their dad, he and his twin brother, Jordan, are kings on the court. But Josh has more than basketball in his blood--he's got mad beats, too, which help him find his rhythm when it's all on the line. See the Bell family in a whole new light through Dawud Anyabwile's dynamic illustrations as the brothers' winning season unfolds, and the world as they know it begins to change.

"One of the most #emotional but also #lighthearted and #meaningful books I’ve ever read. This is my favorite at the moment because it’s also appropriate for #kids and #children."

"Great basketball story and quest towards self-confidence. If you live in Minnesota, there are a lot of references that make it an enjoyable read. Students can easily make connections to the settings in the novel. "
