    About this ebook

    One month ago, academic whiz Russell Evans never thought he'd be a basketball superstar. But now he's playing on the seventh-grade team alongside his fraternal twin, Owen, and they're tearing up the court. The Pioneers are on a winning streak, and Russ and Owen are getting along better than ever. Until the Matthews twins (Mitch and Marcus) show up. These twins are a triple threat: practically basketball pros, academic geniuses, and . . . identical. Things heat up on the court and in the classroom as these brothers are poised to rule the school.

    Now Russ and Owen are fighting for the spotlight, and sabotage seems like their only hope. But when Marcus suffers an injury and Mitch falters during a big game without him, it becomes clear that the Matthews are powerless when separated. Will Russ and Owen take advantage? Or do they have other plans in mind?

      it was a great book about two siblings using each others strengths and weaknesses to both win.

      This is a really nice story about two brothers who are in middle school and are trying to figure out how they fit in. They both think they know their roles (one is an athlete and one is a scholar) until a new basketball coach shakes things up. I think it has a good message and would be nice paired up with "The Fourteenth Goldfish" by Jennifer Holm or "Goodbye Stranger" by Rebecca Stead, which also have themes of finding where you belong in middle school.

      I wasn't really expecting to love this book, but I ended up finding it hard to put down. It flows. Short, engaging, 2 perspectives that are really good at being 2 perspectives, and strong family dynamics for the win. Had some funny moments, had some genuine celebration of both word games and basketball. Great fun!

      Excellent: flawed characters who are likeable, lessons learned without being preachy, "brains and brawn" shown as complementary, not exclusive, attributes and in a non-stereotypical way. I really don't like sports, including basketball, and I don't like reading sports books, but I really enjoyed this book. One to read with my kids when they get older (upper elementary and middle school aged).
