Power Forward (Zayd Saleem, Chasing the Dream #1) Cover Image

Power Forward (Zayd Saleem, Chasing the Dream #1) (Paperback)

By Hena Khan, Sally Wern Comport (Illustrator)
$6.99

Power Forward is the perfect story for young sports fans about balancing the ideal amount of school and play. I especially enjoyed this book because it featured a young Pakistani boy and his family going about their lives as Americans. Filled with sibling banter, school-work, home-cooked meals, and family-drama, this is a book that I would give to a young reader who wants to see themselves in a story as  basketball fan or as a Pakistani-American. 

(Early Chapter Book, ages 7+) - Reviewed by Jessica
