Zayd is headed to an elite summer sports camp with friends from his basketball team, ready to sharpen his skills before he becomes team captain. But his name isn't on the basketball list. It's on the soccer list. Now Zayd has to decide whether to give up camp altogether or try a sport he never planned to play, and find out what he can learn when things don't go the way he expected.
A colossal mix-up lands Zayd in soccer camp instead of basketball in this fourth book in the Zayd Saleem, Chasing the Dream illustrated middle grade series by award-winning author Hena Khan. Zayd is signed up for an elite summer sports camp along with a couple of friends from his basketball team, and he's ready to level up his skills in preparation for his role as team captain. Except when Zayd arrives, there seems to be a huge mistake: Zayd's name isn't on the list for basketball camp, but it is on the list for soccer. Now Zayd must decide whether to give up his camp experience altogether or to go with the flow and give soccer a try. He's never played the sport seriously, and the other kids are really good at it. Does Zayd have what it takes to make the switch and play the game?
