"Booked" by Kwame Alexander
"Twelve-year-old Nick loves soccer and hates books, but soon learns the power of words as he wrestles with problems at home, stands up to a bully, and tries to impress the girl of his dreams. Maybe you like sports or maybe you like poetry. Either way, you’ll be surprised by how much you like a book about sports written in poetry! Try the other books in this series too: The Crossover and Rebound."--Krissy, Youth Services
