"A beautifully measured novel of life and line."--The New York Times Book Review

"With a bolt of lightning on my kicks . . .The court is SIZZLING. My sweat is DRIZZLING. Stop all that quivering. Cuz tonight I'm delivering, " announces dread-locked, 12-year old Josh Bell. He and his twin brother Jordan are awesome on the court. But Josh has more than basketball in his blood, he's got mad beats, too, that tell his family's story in verse, in this fast and furious middle grade novel of family and brotherhood from Kwame Alexander.

Josh and Jordan must come to grips with growing up on and off the court to realize breaking the rules comes at a terrible price, as their story's heart-stopping climax proves a game-changer for the entire family.

Sizing is off.
Size: Small, Color: 3 Black
Much shorter than expected. Poor fit in the legs as well, at least for me. I’d say they are a couple inches shorter than the size chart. I expected them to be short, but not waiting for a flood. Material was nice but overall not a good fit for me.

Sensory Friendly
Size: X-Large, Color: Medium Grey
Sensory friendly. My son and I are both Autistic and finding comfortable clothing is challenging... Sweats and tshirts are our go to. These pants are an upgrade to our wardrobe- very comfortable and great for lounging at home or dressing them up with a nice shirt to go out for the day. I bought these for my son to try and he loved them! They were a little too tight, (winter weight) so I ordered two more in a bigger size. I however kept these because I love them too. The fabric is a nice and breathable with a slight give. I wore them outside yesterday in the hot AZ heat and I was comfortable and in the evening it cooled down with a rainstorm and I was happy I had these pants on. The pockets are amazing! Don’t get me started on pocket size vs phone size. My iPhone sits way deep in the front pocket and hits about thigh level… my iPhone isn’t going to fall out and that’s good peace of mind knowing my investment is safe. Overall my son and I are very happy with our new pants.

Cómodos, frescos y con un estilo increíble
Size: Medium, Color: 1 White
Estos pantalones superaron mis expectativas 😍 Se ven muy bien puestos, tienen un estilo moderno pero a la vez cómodo, perfecto para el día a día o para salir. La tela es ligera y fresca, ideal para el calor, y lo mejor es que no incomodan para nada. Se ajustan bien al cuerpo sin apretar demasiado, lo que los hace súper cómodos para usarlos por horas. Además, la calidad se siente buena y se ven más caros de lo que realmente son. Definitivamente una excelente compra, los volvería a pedir sin pensarlo 💯

Really nice men's long-sleeve, longline shirt
Size: Medium, Color: Wine Red
I ordered this casual crewneck shirt in Wine Red, size Medium, for my husband, and it's quite nice. The ribbed texture is not irritating to the skin, and the fabric is smooth and comfortable. In terms of fit, it is similar to a slim fit - not form-fitting, but also not too loose, so I'd say it's fairly true to size. One thing we both noticed was just how long the torso section was - quite a bit longer than most shirts. It is a longline shirt, but it is *long*. For his preference it's a bit too long, but if you're a woman in the habit of wearing your partner's clothing (Or you prefer the fit of men's clothes), this could be for you. The sleeves are an appropriate length for the size, so I wouldn't say this is necessarily suited to men who need a big & tall type of fit. Finally, the color - the wine red is a deep, rich red, and did not change in the wash. Overall, I think this is a great addition to a men's casual wardrobe. Definitely recommend.
