This book won the 2021 Etisalat Award for Arabic Children's Literature in the category of Chapter book. Hence, I highly recommend it!

Simply, the story is of a young boy who writes letters to his older brother, who is studying to be a doctor in the city. He writes of a basketball match, and all the people in his village!

"I will resend these letters to you, so that you may read them and see how things are reversed after twenty years. I am writing to you now from my clinic in the village, and you receive them from me while you live in a very big city, in a country very far from our village.
I just want to tell you: I wish I had attended that match!"
