The sisters' varied personalities come through, especially in how they individually feel about being visibly Muslim in a place where they're in the minority. Conflicts about how to react to racism and prejudice g., Huda's inner monologue about whether to accept an apology from a new friend is much more frank and pointed than what she actually says e neatly folded into the plot. Hand to any tween fan of contemporary family stories, especially fans of Fahmy's first book.

In this follow-up to Huda F Are You? (2021), Egyptian American Huda and her family take a summer vacation.Huda isn't looking forward to the summer after ninth grade, until her father announces that they'll be going to Disney World-sans sister Amani, who's excited for her Quran intensive. But the 24-hour road trip from Michigan hardly nurtures close sisterly bonds as her parents intended. Instead, four sisters and two parents are packed into annoyingly tight quarters, using rest stops to eat, make ablutions, and pray with all eyes on them. Wishing she could just blend in, Huda is further discomfited by the prevalence of revealing clothing, alcohol consumption, and public intimacy at the theme park-not to mention their parents' buddy system of assigned pairs of sisters for each day. Huda makes a literary connection with Kylie, a white girl she meets while waiting in line. But when Kylie's bigoted friends harass Huda and her youngest sister for their Islamic practices and one boy makes unwanted advances, the fallout leads to Huda's learning something important about her older sister and reinforces her family's belief in having the right to joy and claiming their place as Muslim Americans. Comedic and poignant, Fahmy's narrative captures universal feelings of fluctuating confidence and self-deprecation, the ups and downs of family dynamics, and the growing awareness of siblings' humanity outside the family unit. The cartoonlike, full-color artwork is dynamic, with simplified features that accentuate facial expressions.Delightfully heartwarming. (making a graphic novel) (Graphic fiction. 12-18)
