About the Book

Zara has always been called "The Queen of the Neighborhood" by her beloved neighbor Mr. Chapman who is selling his house and moving to Florida. She has always decided and organized the games for all of the kids who live on her block. Mr. Chapman always said that Zara knows how to rule with grace and fairness so Zara is apprehensive when a family with two kids moves into his house, potentially upsetting the delicate social balance of her rule. New arrivals Naomi and Michael are eager to jump right in to the neighborhood scene and put Queen Zara's rule to the test. When Jamal Mamoo, Mama’s brother, brings over his Guinness World Records book, Zara decides that becoming a world-record holder is the boost her social status needs.

Can Zara break a Guinness World Record and reclaim her status as Queen of the Neighborhood or will a new Queen take over her reign?
