There Lowery raised and offered her answer to the questions that go beyond the telling of this story to its purpose. This, along with the fact that the author includes a lot of personal stories Karla has told her make me feel like Beverly Lowry might actually be quite credible. He's been publishing poetry since the early 1990s but didn't turn to writing verse novels like The Crossover until the late 2000s. Kwame Alexander mixes up the stanzas and styles, giving us the Bell family -- patriarch and ex-hoops great Chuck "Da Man" Bell, his wife Crystal (also a middle school principal), and his twin sons, Jordan "JB" and Josh "Filthy McNasty.One of the only ways people can tell them apart is that Josh has dreadlocks and Jordan has no hair at all: “On the way to the game / I’m banished to the back / seat with JB, / who only stops / playing with my locks / when I slap him / across his bald head / with my jockstrap” (13).
