Fraternal twins Owen, the jock, and Russell, the brains, coexisted for the majority of their life. This year,
however, their worlds are turned upside down when the new basketball coach makes all the boys try out,
and the brainiac ends up being a closeted Michael Jordan! Can the athlete brother keep pace and show
some academic prowess?

I agree with Ms.Hernandez, about we Ranger Reading liking the book. When I saw the cover it looked so boring, like they say don't judge a book by its cover . I truly understand the book also .

I recommend reading this book be if you have brother or sister you can probably relate to this book. Its so hard to stop reading it holds you a certain spot and your brain just tells you to keep on reading!
In the book it shows/tells you things you probably you've never heard of even it you were a grown up!

I LOVED this book .Because at first Owen and Russell did not get along .And when Russell made the pioneers basketball team things got worse.
But in the end they were in they were in total sync . I recommend

I also loved the book and I think you were right about that Owen And Russ did not get along and at the end was a total sync. I liked the book because They thought they were so different like Owen was the jock and Russ was the brains until Russ joined the team. Everything was crazy and got better at the end.

The book was really great and touching it kinda had a connection with me and my four brothers. My favorite brother would have to be Owen because I really like sports and basketball ( kinda I guess)
like him. :)

This is a great novel! I really like the beginning because the new coach thought Russell should be at try outs.
