    From the critically acclaimed author of Amina’s Voice comes the third book in an exciting middle grade series about a scrawny fourth-grader with big dreams of basketball stardom.

    Zayd has a plan. He’s ready to take the reins as team captain of the Gold Team.

    But when an injury leaves him on the sidelines, his plans get derailed. Can Zayd learn what it means to be a leader if he’s not the one calling the shots?

      Great series continues to be great -- Zayd is injured, which is a total calamity, but also a really important thing for a sports series to tackle. How do you keep going when you can't fully participate? Are you still part of the team? How do you refrain from hurting yourself more because your heart is in it, even when your body is hurt?Also, I totally loved Zayd's continued good advice to his older cousin -- if it's your wedding, make it yours. Stand up for the things that matter to you, and that will make your family happy as well. It's a great message, and it's well delivered. Love the Saleem family, can't wait for more adventures.
