Meet the author, get your copy signed, and immerse yourself in the world of graphic storytelling. Don't miss out on this fantastic event!

In 1995, Amar Shah was a fourteen-year-old aspiring sports journalist (and basketball superfan) angling to get into an Orlando Magic team practice. He did, and it took him on the ride of his life!

Wish I Was a Baller is a graphic memoir chronicling Amar's real-life experiences as a fourteen-year-old sports journalist covering the golden era of the NBA, when he befriended Shaq and hung out with Michael Jordan and the Bulls—all while surviving the high school, dealing with crushes, and friendships being tainted by jealousy. This story is perfect for basketball fans, readers hungry for graphic memoirs with a male protagonist, and anyone looking for a satisfying, true-life story where the underdog comes out on top.

Author Amar Shah is a multiple Emmy-winning writer and producer who has written for ESPN.com, NFL.com, The Wall Street Journal, The Orlando Sentinel, Sports Illustrated for Kids, Slam Magazine and The Washington Post. His first novel is a current read for the Sunshine State Young Readers Award.

Tickets include: 1 Paperback copy of the book, Cookie cake, and beverages.
