Description
SHORTLISTED FOR THE CARNEGIE MEDAL and the CLIPPA
'Hoop kings SOAR
in kicks with wings.
Game so sweet
it's like bee stings.'
It's 1988. Charlie Bell is still mourning his father and struggling to figure out how he feels for his best (girl) friend, CJ. When he gets into trouble one too many times, he's packed off to stay with his grandparents for the summer. There his cousin Roxie introduces him to a whole new world—basketball. A legend on the courts is born. But can Charlie resist when trouble comes knocking once again?
From the New York Times-bestselling author Kwame Alexander, Rebound is a stunning coming-of-age novel in verse about basketball, family, and staying true to yourself.
A prequel to The Crossover, winner of the Newbery Medal, and follow-up to Booked, highly commended for the CLiPPA prize and nominated for the Carnegie Medal.
With comic-book illustrations from award-winning graphic novel artist Dawud Anyabwile.

Charlie Bell, the protagonist, captures readers with his comic obsession, and the story's energy is heightened by vibrant illustrations.
