Twelve-year-old Nick is a football-mad boy who absolutely hates books. In this follow-up to the Newbery-winning novel The Crossover, football, family, love, and friendship take centre stage as Nick tries to figure out how to navigate his parents’ break-up, stand up to bullies, and impress the girl of his dreams. These challenges which seem even harder than scoring a tie-breaking, game-winning goal, change his life, as well as his best friend’s. This energetic novel-in-verse by the poet Kwame Alexander captures all the thrills and setbacks, the action and emotion of a World Cup match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Kwame+Alexander\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eKwame Alexander\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Kwame Alexander","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47379494174883,"sku":"9781783444656","price":245.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781783444656_7a9e589f-d950-4f99-8457-c634ca541bc0.jpg?v=1776587858","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9781783444656","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
