second book in an exciting new middle grade series about a scrawny
fourth-grader with big dreams of basketball stardom.
Now that Zayd has made the Gold Team, he's hustling hard and loving
every minute of the season.
But when the team starts to struggle, Zayd can't help wondering if it
has something to do with him. Even worse, his best friend Adam suddenly
starts acting like he doesn't care about basketball anymore, even though
they are finally teammates. He stops playing basketball with Zayd at
recess and starts hanging out with other kids. Then, Adam up and quits
the Gold Team to play football instead.
While his uncle's wedding preparations turn life into a circus at home,
Zayd is left on his own to figure things out. He has to decide how to
still be friends with Adam and step up to fill the empty shoes he left
on the court. Does Zayd have what it takes to be on point and lead his
team back to victory?
