Now with a brand-new cover by the illustrator of the Last Kids on Earth series! A scrawny fourth grader has big dreams of basketball stardom in this first book in the Zayd Saleem, Chasing the Dream illustrated middle grade series by award-winning author Hena Khan. 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.
