What every young boy wants more than anything else is power aAnd that's no different for a boy like Malik who uses a wheelchair.

In this uplifting story Malik trounces the bully next door, captures a myriad of beautiful kites with the help of his sister and brother, and then helps a little girl who's been victimized.

At the end of the day, Malik is triumphant, and begins planning for next year, next Basunt when insha Allah he will be king again.
