Rating: I would give this book ***** stars, I really liked this book.

Dates read: March 3rd-March 10th.

Summary: The book is about Josh/filthy and JB Bell, twin brothers who are the sons of Chuck " DA MAN" Bell. He was a professional basketball player in Italy who won back to back championships in the 90's. His two sons are 13 years old and the best seventh graders you've ever seen play ball. It follows them through there whole undefeated season and there way to the county championship. Midway through the season Josh's brother JB gets a girlfriend and starts spending more time with her than josh. He gets upset and one game gets so angry he throws the ball at JB's face and nearly breaks his nose, His mom who happens to be the school principal decides to suspend josh from the team tell he has learned his lesson and knows how to treat his brother even if he was spending all his time with his girlfriend. His father takes a turn for the worst and passes away after a massive heart attack the night of the championship game, the night they win.

Personal Reaction: I loved this book, it was so cool and creative how he made a bunch of poems into a story, it was a really good book, and I definitely would recommend this to anybody.
