Sadiq and his friends are starting a video game club at school and planning a tournament for the whole school to participate in, but their teacher reminds them that they also have to have a service pledge, and they are not really sure how video games fit in with the goal of helping others--until a visit to an assisted living home where his mother volunteers gives him an idea.

After a family hike in a nearby park, Sadiq forms the Explorers Club with his friends, who then help a neighbor create a nature-themed scavenger hunt for the Fourth of July celebration.

Will their friendship survive when eight-year-olds Saliq and Manny both decide to run for class president?

When Sadiq and his friends form a theater club Sadiq, as director, thinks he must do everything until the director of his big sister Aliya's show tells him about delegating. Includes glossary, discussion questions, and writing prompts.

Sadiq's third grade class decides that they want a classroom pet, and their teacher, Ms. Battersby, is okay with the idea, so the students form a club to decide what kind of pet to get, and to research how to take care of it.
