In this one, she and her sisters are going to DisneyWorld with their family. A 24 hour drive. Her parents decide that the sisters will pair up for time at the park. They hit some rough patches, but in the end they bond, embrace their culture despite comments, sneers, and unwelcome touch, and have a great time at the "Happiest Place on Earth". A super quick read. Love that there is big font in the text. Another amusing and enlightening graphic novel from Huda Fahmy about life as a Muslim American teenage girl. This one focuses on bonding with her sisters during a family vacation to Disney World. I really enjoy being exposed to this perspective that is so unfamiliar to me, and Fahmy keeps it light and breezy even when dealing with some heavy Islamophobic moments. no reviews | add a review

HTML:A National Book Award for Young People's Literature Finalist In this laugh-out-loud funny sequel to the graphic novel Huda F Are You?, the Fahmys are off to Disney World, but self-conscious Huda worries her family will stand out too much. (Cover may vary) Huda and her sisters can’t believe it when her parents announce that they’re actually taking a vacation this summer . . . to DISNEY WORLD! But it’s not quite as perfect as it seems. First Huda has to survive a 24-hour road trip from Michigan to Florida, with her sisters annoying her all the way. And then she can’t help but notice the people staring at her and her family when they pray in public. Back home in Deerborn she and her family blend right in because there are so many other Muslim families, but not so much in Florida and along the way. It's a vacation of forced (but unexpectly successful?) sisterly bonding, a complicated new friendship, a bit more independence, and some mixed feelings about her family's public prayers. Huda is proud of her religion and who she is, but she still sure wishes she didn’t care so much what other people thought. No library descriptions found. |

This graphic novel is filled with force (but successful??) sisterly bonding, a possible new friendship, and some mixed feelings about exactly why Huda cares so much about what other people thought.
The sibling dynamics are so spot on - especially sisterly ones. So many scenarios where I thought, “Yep, my sisters and I have had a version of this fight ourselves”.
I love how the author was able to mix nostalgia with humor and still be very eye opening. Her family is very blessed back in Dearborn to be surrounded with a large Muslim community, but her parents know that’s not how it will be “out in the real world” and their trip to Disney World is kind of a tester for them. It takes Huda a bit to realize that, but she still comes out of the trip being proud to be Muslim.
Overall, I love Huda’s series and will definitely be recommending her books to loads of people. You don’t necessarily have to read her first graphic novel to understand this one at all. But this one is nice for those with sisters to read a story of a family road trip - cause we’ve all been there, right?? ( )
