"Una hermosa novela medida entre la vida y sus líneas."—New York Times Book Review

Un rayo de luz en mis kicks ...

La cancha está QUEMANDO.

Mi sudor está LLOVIZNANDO.

Ya 'stuvo con eso de estar temblando.

Es que esta noche voy entregando.

El fenómeno del básquetbol, Josh Bell, y su hermano gemelo, Jordan, son los reyes de la cancha, con esos crossovers inesperados que hacen llorar a los jugadores más duros. Pero cuando Jordan conoce a la nueva chica del colegio, lazos entre los gemelos se empiezan a desanudar. El baloncesto y la hermandad se entrelazan para mostrarles a Josh y Jordan que la vida no viene con un manual de jugadas y que, a veces, el asunto no es ganar.


  • Now in Spanish! Winner of the Newbery Medal and Coretta Scott King Award, and a New York Times bestseller. Basketball and heartache share the court in this slam-dunk novel in verse.

    A bolt of lightning on my kicks . . .

    The court is SIZZLING.

    My sweat is DRIZZLING.

    Stop all that quivering.

    Cuz tonight I'm delivering.

    Basketball phenom Josh Bell and his twin brother, Jordan, are kings on the court, with crossovers that make even the toughest ballers cry. But when Jordan meets the new girl in school, the twins' bond unravels. Basketball and brotherhood intertwine to show Josh and Jordan that life doesn't come with a playbook and, sometimes, it's not about winning.

        Starred review from February 1, 2020
        Grades 5-8 *Starred Review* Twins Josh and Jordan Bell are both talented basketball players, encouraged by their parents on and off the court. Their father, once a European basketball star, now spends his time giving the twins advice about the game, as well as life. As they navigate middle school, Jordan grows more interested in girls, and the brothers begin to drift apart. Josh discovers that his father is hiding something that, when finally brought to the surface, threatens to change their lives forever. As Josh and Jordan face the all-too-real possibility of life without their father, he urges them never to forget that family is the court and your heart is the ball. Written in verse that ebbs and flows between explosive and calm, filled with humor and heartbreak, this lovely Spanish translation of the Newbery Medal-winning novel is sure to inspire a new group of young readers, all while teaching them about life, loss, and basketball. Highly recommended for Spanish middle-grade and young-adult collections.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2020, American Library Association.)
