Crossover by
Kwame Alexander
Is b r e a t h t a k i n g.
With trouble
Lurking in
Shadowy corners.
And deep sadness
Hidden beneath
Humor.
Joshua Bell
(The main character)
Has you hating him
Loving him
Wishing on stars for him and
Tearing out your hair for him.
His brother, JB,
Doesn’t have his priorities straight.
In fact, they’re so crooked
You want to toss the book
Out the window.
For me, the novel started out s l o w
But once I kept reading,
It started to flow.
I was as hooked as a fish.
But then, that horrible
Kwame Alexander
Ripped out my heart
And stomped on it.
This piece
Was astonishing,
Amazing,
And flat out
Beautiful.
I was
H
A
N
G
I
N
G
On until the last
Word.
Thank you,
Kwame Alexander
For making me never
Want to read again
Because nothing
Will ever be this
Good.
