Like lightning/you strike/fast and free/legs zoom/down field/eyes fixed/at the checkered ball/at the goal/ten yards to move/can’t no person stop you/
can’t no person cop you…
In this follow-as much as the Newbery-winning novel THE CROSSOVER,  soccer, circle of relatives, love, and friendship, take center stage as twelve-year-old Nick learns the power of words as he wrestles with problems at home, stands as much as a bully, and tries to provoke the woman of his dreams. Helping him along are his easiest friend and occasionally teammate Coby, and The Mac, a rapping librarian who gives Nick inspiring books to read.  
This electric and heartfelt novel-in-verse by poet Kwame Alexander bends and breaks as it captures all of the thrills and setbacks, action and emotion of a World Cup match!
