The Crossover

Middle schooler Josh Bell is the main character in the book The Crossover. Josh has a twin brother JB and they both play basketball. Josh's dad was Chuck 'Da Man' Bell, who was a famose basketball player. The main conflict throughout the book is when JB gets a girlfriend, and then him and Josh start growing apart due to fights and not seeing each other as much. Josh was also concerend because he found out that his dad has a bad heart problem that runs in the family. Josh's dad tells him not to worry about it, but all he was thinking about is whats going to happen to his dad, and him when he gets older. Later in the book, Josh's dad dies of heart problems which has changed Josh and JB's life forever. Soon, Josh and JB realize they need each other to get through this tough time. Josh and JB start becoming buddies again and starts to have each others back. The theme in this book is "Family has each others back". I recommend this book because it has some twists and turns and is about basketball and family.
