Author: Charles R. Smith Jr.
Poetry grade level 6-8
This book of poems is all about the best women in basketball. Charles R. Smith Jr. wrote these twelve poems, each about a specific individual female professional basketball player. He uses these poems to describe the players and their talents. I really like how he uses different size text and forms the text in unique ways to enhance his poetry. After reading all of these poems I feel like I have watched each of these women play for hours because I know their talents and exactly how they move on the court and affect each game. The descriptions are detailed and make you feel like you are watching the play right in front of you. This would be a great book for middle school girls and especially athletes. Also, for boys who are interested in basketball. The poems provide insight in a very strange and unique way about the game of basketball and how these women have come to be successful in it.
