This
an excellent novel of the ups and down that family goes through life. The 12-year-old
twins love to play basketball just as his father. Their parents were both
involved in sports, the father was for European League basketball player and
mother was an assistant principal. The twins, Josh and JB, got along well until
a girlfriend came between them. Anger and jealousy reign and they quickly
began to grow apart. Their father became very ill and even suffered two major
heart attacks. The rivalry between the brothers did not sit well with their
father. One of the major heart attacks took his father’s life and soon the bothers realize
that they only had each other. Overall they mend with each other and never
forget how much they love each other.
The
author uses free verse and narrative poems; this novel could be used as mentor
text in English Language Arts. Excellent way to portray feelings between
brothers and express their love. This book brings connections to those persons
that have been involved in similar situations, but cannot let others get in the
way of family.
