HUDA F ARE YOU?

This lively audio adaptation of Huda Fahmy's hilarious graphic novel will delight listeners. Huda's having a crisis. Her family's just moved from a small town to Dearborn, Michigan, and suddenly her identity can no longer be "the hijabi girl" because she's not the only one anymore. Fahmy's wry narration captures the humor and the many ups and downs of her freshman year in a new school. She's egged on by squeaky-voiced versions of herself, while her exacting mom, skillfully portrayed by Aixa Kay, pushes her further. A full cast of narrators, along with music and sound effects, helps tell Huda's story as she bounces between cliques, bickers with her sisters, makes new friends, faces down bullies and Islamophobes, and survives a raucous year of school.
