“I loved Bob Krech’s book because he knows basketball; players or fans of the sport will enjoy the on-court action throughout. REBOUND is one of the few basketball books I would read again.”
Walter Dean Myers, Critically acclaimed Author of Monster, Patrol, Riot and many other award-winning titles
“The author clearly knows the world of high school basketball. Sure to be a slam-dunk success with players and fans alike.”
Kirkus Reviews
“Krech keeps it hones as he successfully shows the many shades of gray that keep racism from being a truly black-and-white issue.”
Booklist

Children’s Literature
