Rebound

De: Kwame Alexander

Narrado por: Ron Butler

From the New York Times best-selling author Kwame Alexander comes Rebound, the dynamic prequel to his Newbery Award-winning novel in verse, The Crossover.

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 listeners 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 listeners 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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Young Charlie has just lost his father, and narrator Ron Butler clearly conveys his anger and vulnerability.... Butler mainly focuses on depicting Charlie's emotional growth in this story... Butler also gives meaningful portrayals of the minor characters who influence Charlie. Overall, Butler's effective pauses respect the author's poetic form. The last bit of the book shifts into a surprise ending that will delight fans of the earlier novel." (AudioFile)

Thought Provoking

A really good book, even though it was short. It made me think about my childhood, family, and my adult life. A must read.

Great Book

I enjoyed the the book. Made me remember days growing up in the 80's. Think every young person should read it.

life lessons

crazy because I almost didn't listen to this, I felt it was a little immature. But kept listening, this story took me through all the emotions! Glad I finished it!

Amazing!!

Rebound is officially my favorite book. I recommend reading Crossover first though. It fits in to Crossover like a puzzle piece. Chuck Bell is the perfect character for this book, and all of the characters were very different. The ending made me cry, knowing what happened to Chuck Bell in Crossover. To make this review brief, I say that it is awesome, and to find out more read this book.

Poignant

What a poignant story about coming of age, the importance of family, friends, community, and self-identity. At several points, the storying was so gripping and real, I was moved to tears. Young people will love it. Bravo, Kwame!
