Great story, characters, poetry submitted by wendylawrencemorgan on June 13, 2015, 3:02pm Loved this book. It is fast-paced, in-depth, and written with gorgeous poetry. But not poetry that gets in the way of basketball games and great characters. Poetry that propels all of that forward. Awesomeness.

Meaningful submitted by enano.1 on July 24, 2016, 10:36am I really enjoyed this book; it was evenly paced, and if was very meaningful.
I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested into sports, and has time to really enjoy it.
The last thing I would like to say, is that this is a great book, and I think that it was definantly worthy of the Newberry Medal.

Storytelling in poetry submitted by Marian on June 17, 2023, 9:57am I don't read much poetry so maybe this won't surprise others, but I was impressed by such effective storytelling in poetry.
