    About this series

    Hoop kings soar
    in kicks with wings.
    Game so sweet
    it's like bee stings.
    (Ouch!)
    He swished you
    in your face.
    Stung you like
    a can of mace.
    These boys so fly
    they're outta space!

    Before he’s Chuck “Da Man” Bell, proud father of Jordan and Josh Bell, Charlie is a kid who dreams of basketball glory. In his mind, he can steal, jump, dunk, and make the crowd go wild just like a pro baller. But when tragedy strikes, Charlie can’t help but make all the wrong moves.
    Will a series of missteps keep him benched, or can he learn how to rebound? Find out in the follow-up to Kwame Alexander’s slam-dunk novel The Crossover.
