I thought this book was so cute! I loved the illustrations and the themes of identity and self growth. I didn't particularly like that the book ended without Huda having had stood up for herself. I think that would've been an amazing plotline to have, especially considering the way Huda and Joe partner up to catch the teacher being racist anyways.

Definitely would recommend to younger non White readers specifically because it's incredibly relatable to read about not belonging and the sudden belongingness that comes with having a community.

The book seems move juvenille than what I was expecting but I’m all for the Muslim representation! It was cute and enjoyable! I also must say that i hate HATE that this format is not only not available on kindle, but it’s 2 pages at a time. Please publishers, make it one page only. It’s literally impossible to read this.

A charming and truly funny coming of age story about a Muslim teen girl with lots of sisters who moves to a new school with lots of other Muslim students and realizes that being a hijabi is not a personality trait. The author manages to blend humor and self-deprecation with addressing more serious topics like racism, Islamophobia, and microagressions. It's a quick read, but a really great graphic novel that is likely to be a hit. Definitely worth a look! I received an advance review copy via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.
