The twins from the first book now have the streak happening with the basketball team, and things are going swimmingly until another pair of twins moves into the district and get placed on the team. The second book still runs into that issue somewhat, but it's still a much more cohesive story with a more realistic start and finish than the first book, to its benefit. While one could take issue with the somewhat unrealistic and disproportionate responses of some of the characters to the happenings in the story, a lot can be easily forgiven. The initial read was a fairly inoffensive middle grade sports book that fits right into the wheelhouse of that boy reader looking for sports books that are a little more modern. While I enjoyed the first book in this series, I'll admit to not having incredibly high expectations for the second book. Realistic fiction is a great genre to compare with your own life. I could never wait for my next class period to read this amazing book and I can't wait to read the previous book in the series. This book is funny and encourages me to get on a basketball court and shoot hoops. I thought I was going to hate the realistic fiction genre and never find the right book but I did. Meanwhile, the twin with a broken arm and Russell become friends and the team was back together and winning. Owen was happier than ever because he got his team back but when he was convinced to help the healthy twin get better, they become friends. The other healthy twin was terrible without his brother. After their second game, which was a loss even with the twins, one of them broke their arm. They are all stars in academics and basketball and they ruin Owen and Russ's playing.
Everything is going great in the team until two twins from Minnesota, Mitch and Marcus, come and own the team. Mark is about two brothers, Russell and Owen, who are on a basketball team together for their school called the Pioneers. The cover is appealing and bright, I think it would be a great book to add to your sports fiction section.ĮL –ADVISABLE Reviewer: Stephanie Elementary School Librarian & Author.ĭouble Dribble by W. The main character tries to find a balance between academics and sports, and coming from a teacher point of view I love it. I think upper elementary readers would love this book (series). Which was a disservice, because this book was an excellent book, with a great balance of characters, plot, and sports elements. To say I put off reading this book is an understatement, I loathe reading sports fiction.
Will the two pairs of twins be able to reconcile their differences? When the new boys show off their amazing basketball skills Russ and Owen are worried that their favorite sport is being stolen from them. Russ is jealous, he and his brother have always been the token twins at the school. The new boys are identical twins and play basketball like they share one mind. The school basketball team is doing great this year and everything is terrific, until two new players arrive. Russell and Owen are fraternal twins who bonded in the first book over a shared love of basketball. $6.99 Content: Language: G (0 swears) Mature Content: G Violence: G
