Praise for Rivals

What could be a tale of haves and have-nots swerves, instead examining the pernicious effects poor judgment, vicarious living, and outright self-interest can have on the physical and mental well-beings of student athletes.
Kirkus Reviews

Scenes of action on the court are vivid and exciting. . .Give to fans of Jason Reynolds and Kwame Alexander’s sports novels.
