5.0 out of 5 stars My 4th Graders LOVE this Series

I teach 4th grade and I purchased this 3 book series for my classroom. A number of the students have read through the three books very quickly, definitely a hit with my 9/10 year olds! I teach in Los Angeles so it's also nice that these books have some diversity in the characters, as I already have a lot of great books about white kids. I teach diverse students so I love having that diversity reflected in what they're reading as well.

From my 9 year old son: My favorite sport is basketball. I can really relate to this book because I recently broke my pinkie and could not play basketball for 4 weeks. Just like Zayd. I loved how the author included so many details about the games. It felt like you where there. I really loved this book and recommend it for kids and adults of all ages.

3.0 out of 5 stars culture over deen
Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2020
Verified Purchase
I bought this book bc I wanted my son to be able to relate to characters in books in terms of his religion (praying, family values, not eating pork etc). THis book is great if you are trying to get the culture part of your life to be relatable. They use common urdu words, and their ceremonial traditions are similar to the indopak culture but it doesn't highlight islam in anyway except saying Assalamualaikum. I figured at some point the author might have the main character pray for getting on the Gold team but she never touches on anything related to deen. All in all, i wouldnt recommend if your intention is the religion aspect.

My daughter absolutely loved this book. Her favorite part was the wedding, she really enjoyed reading about the festivities. Her exact words were ‘there is nothing like a Pakistani wedding ‘.
She loved the details and the Urdu references .
She is sad that that the series is complete !

5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic conclusion to the series!
Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2019
This is such a fun series and I'm so glad I read it! Zayd's journey is so relatable and Hena Khan did a spectacular job of pulling plot threads from beginning to the end. Together, the three books create a cohesive and well-rounded story of our little basketball player chasing his dream. Not to mention that the Pakistani representation is so relatable and the story is perfectly balanced between Zayd's school, family, and sports life without being too heavy-handed in any one area. Even if your kid isn't into sports, I highly recommend these books!
