Reach for this book when your child feels torn between their personal passions and your family's expectations for their future. It is a fantastic choice for the middle-schooler who feels like they do not quite fit the traditional mold of success within their community. This story follows Raaj, a boy caught between his love for sneaker design and his father's academic pressure, all while navigating the high-stakes world of a national basketball tournament. It is a vibrant, funny, and deeply relatable look at finding one's identity and the courage required to be honest with those we love. While the setting is fast-paced and sports-oriented, the emotional core deals with the universal struggle of balancing heritage with individual creativity. It is perfect for kids aged 8 to 12 who are beginning to define themselves outside of their parents' shadows.
