We Are Family

I would recommend this book to a lot of kids that like basketball and I think the basketball game is fun and to keep following their dreams

I only bought it because it was LeBron James, but I was so excited to get it. It’s a great book and there was no damaged when I received it!

I purchased for my twin niece and nephew…they absolutely love it.

Great price

The book was good 👍🏾

“Son, I love you more than you will ever know, and I believe in you more than you will ever know. Whether you want to play in the NBA like Kendrick King or fly to the moon, you have the potential to do all that and more. When you wear these shoes, I want you to remember that.”WE ARE FAMILY is a fabulous and enjoyable realistic fiction chapter book written by Lebron James and Andrea Williams. Lebron James is an NBA superstar who is a two time Olympic gold medalist. He opened I PROMISE for kids that live in Akron,Ohio and now he has written a book that inspires readers to be like him. He co-authored the book with Andrea Williams who is a journalist and author of Baseball’s Leading Lady:Effa Manley and The Rise and Fall of the Negro Leagues. Together they made a great writing team. In my opinion, both authors were able to combine their ideas and their specialties to form a better story.The story starts when Jayden Carr, a hardworking 7th grader, just got the most amazing gift from his mother which is the new Kendrick King’s kicks. Few people could afford the new Kendrick King’s kicks in Jayden’s school. His family also cannot afford them but his mom saved and saved money to buy Jayden's favorite shoes. It means so much to him. Jayden is excited about starting Hoop Group, the same group where Kendrick King got his start in basketball.The story takes a bad turn when Hoop Group is canceled because Coach Beck became sick. Jayden’s plans are ruined because he was imagining this would be a big opportunity for him. When he finds out that Coach Beck is not able to run the team, “Jayden feels his chest start to rise and fall, and his brain starts spinning like Gram’s old washing machine (Page 37) .” You should read this story to find out what Jayden and other 7th graders have to do to keep Hoop Group and their hopes alive. I think teenagers can learn never to give up on their dream from WE ARE FAMILY.You will meet characters like Roddy, who motivates. ““If you wanna have a chance to stay in the game, you gotta decide that nothing’s gonna stand in your way. And you gotta keep deciding. Every day (Page 74).”” Lebron James must have based the character of Roddy on himself. Even though this is not an autobiography of Lebron James, you can feel that his writing is inspired by his childhood and career. I know that when you read this book you will learn more about him than you already know. Even though the book is realistic fiction, you will feel like you are learning something about Lebron's life.You will read about 5 new friends. What will they do when they have this trouble? Will they be able to achieve their dreams? Will they even be able to achieve more? If you are a basketball fan, this is a book that you would not be able to put down. In my opinion, you will want to keep reading to see what happens. If you are looking for a story full of energy, inspired by Lebron James, this may be the perfect book for you.

Loved the book

This book is absolutely extraordinary. I would highly recommend it for 8 and up; however, if you have younger children - if you’re reading it out loud together as a family, it’s a perfect opportunity to teach what they may not know or have been exposed to yet - in a safe environment.I bought this book, hoping it would be good read and it did not disappoint. Its descriptive and engaging - which made me and my children want to keep reading it until we finished. My children have learned so many valuable lessons from reading this book.Thank you and wonderful job!Looking forward to your next book!

Buen libro para niños reafirma los valores de familia

Le livre est arrivé, abimé. ça me rend en colère car l'emballage est intact, donc, le livre a été emballé sachant qu'il est déchiré.
