In Rebound, we are taken back in time to see the summer that influenced and created the man we know as Chuck Bell. During this summer of hardship, we see all the things that helped Chuck become the man that his sons, Josh and Jordan Bell, so admired. Through the influence of his grandparents and his cousin Roxie, Chuck begins his love of all things basketball and jazz and learns that he has to rebound, both on and off of the court.
If you enjoyed The Crossover, you will no doubt love this one as well. It was amazing!
From Amazon:
From the New York Times bestselling author Kwame Alexander comes Rebound, a dynamic novel in verse and companion to his Newbery Award-winner, The Crossover, illustrated with striking graphic novel panels.
Before Josh and Jordan Bell were streaking up and down the court, their father was learning his own moves. In this prequel to Newbery Medal winner The Crossover, Chuck Bell takes center stage, as readers get a glimpse of his childhood and how he became the jazz music worshiping, basketball star his sons look up to.
A novel in verse with all the impact and rhythm readers have come to expect from Kwame Alexander, Rebound will go back in time to visit the childhood of Chuck "Da Man" Bell during one pivotal summer when young Charlie is sent to stay with his grandparents where he discovers basketball and learns more about his family's past.
