Crossover and the Gymbrats takes readers along on a fun, magical, streetwise adventure with the Crystal Baller, Devaryl P. Carroll—a gifted kid with a sweet crossover dribble and the power to make his dreams become reality. Born with a mysterious crystal his parents tell him is a key to unlocking his potential, Devaryl takes his talents from the streets of South Central to the Longfellow Middle School for the Highly Gifted in New York City. There he befriends a crew of other gifted kids with their own unique and awesome magical powers—the Gymbrats. But not everyone is as friendly as it seems. Fighting against magic, his own limitations, and a little bit of homesickness, Crossover works with his friends to unlock the mysterious secrets of the crystals and his own powers, and he uses this to realize his dreams and triumph at the big Tween of New York streetball competition.
