The Crossover by Kwame Alexander

I just read this wonderful book.  Wow! In verse, the narrator tells about his life playing on his high school basketball team along with his twin brother. Both star players, sons of a retired great player, they play different positions and are close buddies until one gets a girlfriend.  I am not a sports enthusiast but I was totally absorbed in this story so evocatively descriptive of a young boy excelling academically and in his chosen sport but struggling with his emotions.  Outstanding!
