Cape Town's trailblazing sporting sensation, Malikah Hamza, continues to break barriers as she secures a spot on South Africa's National Hockey team for the upcoming World Championships.

At just 20 years old, the Kensington resident has already made history in German hockey and scored nearly 2 000 career goals as she’s ready to represent the country on the global stage. Malikah’s passion for sports started early, driven by a natural enthusiasm for competition and teamwork. She excelled in various sports such as soccer, golf, cricket, swimming, and water polo before falling in love with hockey at the age of 9, fully committing to it after finishing high school. In 2023, she made history as the youngest South African female to compete for the women's first team of Harvestehuder Hockey Club in Germany.

This book is part of a series inspired by true events from her athletic journey. “There are a lot of benefits with this book, being that it is a sports book and very relatable. I think it is quite nice that it is there for the community to inspire the next generation,” Malikah said.

I hope you’re ready for a life of adventure! If not, don’t buy this book. Put it down and walk away.

One summer’s day, ten-year-old India Opal Buloni goes down to the local supermarket for some groceries—and comes home with a dog. But Winn-Dixie is no ordinary dog. It’s because of Winn-Dixie that Opal begins to make friends. And it’s because of Winn-Dixie that she finally dares to ask her father about her mother, who left when Opal was three. In fact, as Opal admits, just about everything that happens that summer is because of Winn-Dixie.

This updated edition of Kate DiCamillo’s classic novel invites readers to make themselves at home—whether they’re experiencing the book for the first time or returning to an old favorite.
