'Crossed Up' has basketball, mysteries, ghosts in Galveston
If you’ve ever wanted to either go back or forward in time as I have, you’ll have an opportunity in reading this book, meeting some of histories most famous and infamous people. The book begins at the cover page, so be forewarned.
I'm always on the lookout for interesting middle grade level books for my twins who are in fourth grade to read. They've recently become interested in the sport of basketball playing in a local Salvation Army rec league and we've gone to see Detroit Pistons and Harlem Globetrotters games during the last few months. So I thought the kids would enjoy M L Rosynek's middle grade book CROSSED UP which involves a youth basketball team solving a pirate mystery.
