This is an amazing book in verse is about basketball, family, and brotherhood. Twin brothers Josh and Jordan, star basketball players and best friends, find their close relationship unraveling when Jordan starts dating. But when the unthinkable happens, they must come together and rely on each other despite the tension between them. You will cry and laugh after reading Alexander’s powerful verses. I love this book because it is in verse and about family.

I had the chance to attend a book reading and signing of Mr. Alexander's in April at one of my favorite bookstores, Mrs. Dalloway's in Berkeley.  It was a really cool experience.

Recommended for ages 10 and up.
