Around the World

Review
By Horn Book Guide

Illustrated by Antonio Reonegro and Tom Lynch. A fast and furious street-basketball game is played in an original graphic style: from action-packed spread to spread, the ball travels from New York to countries including Nigeria, China, and Brazil and back to New York. Despite the schematic concept, the book, featuring comic-strip dialogue boxes capturing the young players’ telegraphic speech patterns, will hook readers.
