Huda F Cares?: 03/14/24

Huda F Cares?

Huda F Cares? by Huda Fahmy (2023) is about the family road trip to Disney World. The sisters are equally excited and horrified at the prospect. Huda is extra conflicted when her favorite sister stays home.

The trip involves a 24 hour drive with breaks to pray and eat. For the rest of the time the girls are jammed into the backseat with no room to wiggle or breath. And it goes down hill from there.

There's a tight schedule each day with mandatory sisterly bonding. There's the awkwardness of praying in the parks. There's the awkwardness of dressing so differently from most of the other visitors.

And there are consequences for everything and lessons learned to. And, despite their best efforts, some actual sisterly bonding.

Five stars
