Alongside his best friend Coby, he has to navigate eighth grade issues from bullying to asking out a cute girl to the spring formal dance. Nicholas Hall is a thirteen year old phenom on the soccer field and in the classroom. Through his poetry in motion Alexander brings us a quality middle grade kids book that will leave students stupefied and asking their teachers for more books.
In Booked, Alexander presents the reader with Nick Hall, a gifted student and soccer player who is coping with his parents' recent divorce. Kwame Alexander, on the heels of his award winning Crossover, has wowed his readers again with Booked, an equally poetic tale about sports as the backdrop for teenaged angst.
