Power Forward (Zayd Saleem, Chasing the Dream)

From the critically acclaimed author of Aminaâ€™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. Heâ€™s not just going to be a professional basketball player. Heâ€™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. Itâ€™s his destiny. There are only a few small things in his way.

For starters, Zaydâ€™s only on the D-team. (D stands for developmental, but to Zayd itâ€™s always felt like a bad grade or something.) Not to mention, heâ€™s a bit on the scrawny side, even for the fourth grade team. But his best friend Adam is on the Gold Team, and itâ€™s Zaydâ€™s dream for the two of them to play together.

His mom and dad donâ€™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, Zaydâ€™s parents lay down the ultimate punishment: he has to hang up his high tops and isnâ€™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.
