Alisha and Adam's Magical Wishbone - Hardcover

by Edna Khalily (Author)

Alisha has a problem. Her good friend, Adam, who recently moved to her block, is disrespectful, arrogant, grumpy, rebellious, and even plays rough. He's on a soccer team but is definitely not a team player. Because of his behavior, his teammates won't talk to him and the coach is about to kick him off the team.

Alisha wants to help, so when her mom invites Adam to dinner, Alisha decides to make a wish on a chicken wishbone. Adam thinks it's silly but goes along with it anyway. When she and Adam pull a wishbone apart, their world turns topsy-turvy.

They zoom through a middle school football game in Dallas, a baseball game in New York, a volleyball game in Florida, a basketball game in Los Angeles, and an ice hockey game in Long Island.

They watch as kids on the teams act disrespectful, arrogant, grumpy, rebellious, and even rough, just like Adam does on his team.

Alisha hopes seeing other players with his inappropriate behavior will make Adam want to change. But will it?

"Alisha and Adam's Magical Wishbone" is a fun and colorful picture book that subtly brings awareness of the qualities needed to be a good team player. It would be perfect for a child's home and school library.
