From Publishers Weekly:
Abigail McAden at Scholastic has bought Play the Game, first in a middle grade trilogy by debut author and Emmy-winning writer/producer Amar Shah. In the novel, NBA fanatic Raam lands a ticket to HoopCon and is beaten in a mortifying one-on-one matchup in front of a crowd, including his favorite pro player; when his best friend posts the video online, Raam reaches viral infamy overnight. Publication is set for fall 2023; Jas Perry at KT Literary brokered the three-book deal for world rights.
