Description
About the Book
Ten-year-old (nearly eleven) Zara's nickname is "Queen of the Neighborhood" because she organizes the other children (even the older ones), sets the rules, and generally makes sure everyone has fun; but now another ten-year-old, Naomi, has moved in across the street and she has her own ideas about fun games, and suddenly the other kids (even Zara's younger brother Zayd) are listening to Naomi--if she is going to retain her influence Zara needs to come up with something quick, and an old copy of the Guinness Book of World Records gives her an idea.Book Synopsis
From the beloved author of Amina's Voice comes the first book in a humor-filled middle grade series starring a young Muslim girl with an endless list of hobbies who searches for ways to maximize fun for her family and neighborhood friends. Meet Zara Saleem, the queen of the neighborhood. Zara's in charge of it all: she organizes the games, picks the teams, and makes sure everyone has a good time...and they always do. When a new family moves in across the street, suddenly Zara's reign is threatened by Naomi, who has big ideas of her own about how the neighborhood kids can have fun. To get everyone to notice her again, Zara decides she's going to break a Guinness World Record--if her little brother Zayd doesn't mess things up. But when she finds herself increasingly alone in her record-breaking quest, Zara starts to wonder if sharing the crown and making a new friend might end up being the best rule of all.About the Author

Hena Khan produces another great book for children and students. One of the most appealing aspects of her writing is that she masterfully weaves in Pakistani and Muslim cultural aspects into her books, without it ever feeling forced. The book is a great mix of showcasing adopted American culture mixed with traditional Pakistani customs. Kids can related to the plot where a new neighbor moves into the neighborhood: the children all hope there will kids their age to play with and the dad of course "hopes there aren't teenagers." With all new introductions into established social circles, anyone new changes dynamics and Khan's book beautifully teaches kids about the give-and-take with new people, new ideas, and seeking attention. The lessons taught throughout can be used by any parent with their children or as a classroom read to proactively address SEL needs. When we look for a book that can be a window, mirror, or sliding glass door for our children, she is one of the best writers out there today.
