Rebound (The Crossover Series) Kindle Edition

I didn’t think this was possible, but I love this even more than The Crossover. This prequel is expertly written as it makes you forget what you know is coming, but is also so very satisfying as it puts some bows on some answers.The writing is phenomenal, but the characters are even better. I love every, single one..yes, Charlie/Chuck, mom, CJ are all amazing, but the grandparents stole the show for me. Granddad is sassy and sweet and tender and tough.You’ll love it.

My 13 year old use to be an avid reader until a couple of years ago when he discover the phone and video games. I got him this book to try to get him back into reading. I thought he woukd connect with the characters, and he certainly did!The author has really done a wonderful job of finding a way to reach young teen men, specially, young people, in general. That push n pull of family ties and budding love is balanced by the underlying coming of age story line. I was really impressed by the book and my son, couldn't wait to see if there were more books in the series.

Dear kids interested in reading this book,No adults made us write this. We think you should read this book because it is good. Kwame Alexander wrote this book as a poem, and it made us want to read more. Kwame Alexander is a best-selling author and winner of the Newbery award, and we know why! Rebound is about basketball and life. We are a 6th grade boys' book group, but we know that girls will like this book too!

Great series! Loved all three books. I am a recently retired tracing teacher. I highly recommended these books for students who are reluctant to read. Good for the kids who like poetry and sports. They are quick reads also! I can’t wait to see and read what new book for middle schoolers Kwame Alexander writes next!

I love Kwame Alexander’s writing style. Excellent book from a gifted author!! Bought this (as well as Booked and The Crossover) for my 13 year old son, but I enjoyed them just as much as he did!

I bought this book for my 8 year old nefew that enjoys reading, however, I’m so glad I looked inside this book when I received it prior to gifting it. It is a collection of poems that don’t make a lot of sense or age appropriate for an 8 year old. I ordered bc of the great reviews but i don’t agree with them.

My son loved this book. He has to read several fiction books of his choice for summer and this was one of the ones he chose. He read it in 30 minute increments for a week and he would talk to me about the book all the time.

This is my favorite of Alexander's books so far. He took my favorite character from The Crossover and made this prequel entirely about him. The beginning was heartbreaking, as were several sections in the middle, but the ending made the pain worthwhile.

My Son who avoids reading as much as possible read this series and really enjoyed the books #winning!

Only book my 11 year old son will read without force - read it myself fantastic

My son enjoys this book, thank you x

Super storyline- very clever. Suitable for year 5-8. Great vocabulary and clever written.

Grandson (10) loved the book
