From the critically acclaimed author of Amina's Voice comes the
first book in an exciting new middle grade series about a
fourth-grader with big dreams of basketball stardom. Fourth grader
Zayd Saleem has some serious hoop dreams. He's not just going to be
a professional basketball player. He's going to be a star. A
legend. The first Pakistani-American kid to make it to the NBA. He
knows this deep in his soul. It's his destiny. There are only a few
small things in his way. For starters, Zayd's only on the D-team.
(D stands for developmental, but to Zayd it's always felt like a
bad grade or something.) Not to mention, he's a bit on the scrawny
side, even for the fourth grade team. But his best friend Adam is
on the Gold Team, and it's Zayd's dream for the two of them to play
together. His mom and dad don't get it. They want him to practice
his violin way more than his jump shot. When he gets caught blowing
off his violin lessons to practice, Zayd's parents lay down the
ultimate punishment: he has to hang up his high tops and isn't
allowed to play basketball anymore. As tryouts for the Gold Team
approach, Zayd has to find the courage to stand up for himself and
chase his dream.
