Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

Theo Rollins is starting eighth grade six inches taller than his classmates, and his new height is making everyone expect more from him, especially the coach of the basketball team. Loosely based on his childhood, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's new series, beginning with Sasquatch in the Paint (Disney-Hyperion, $16.99), offers readers a glimpse of the choices they may face as they start to mature. Co-written with Raymond Obstfeld, this book is a slam dunk for fans of basketball and absorbing mysteries. This event is an author signing only. All copies of the book must be purchased from Politics & Prose. Kareem will personalize copies of his book. Kareem will sign Sasquatch in the Paint only. No memorabilia. No posed photos will be allowed. Photos taken from the signing line are permitted. Line will form outside, rain or shine. We cannot guarantee a signed book for customers unable to attend the event in person. As of September 26, only unsigned books will be sold online.
