with the announcement of her parents divorce, amidst high school and college applications, huda struggles to cope. what will she do?
i havent read the previous books in the series, but i thoroughly enjoyed this one and cant wait to read the others. this book handles such conflicting themes in such a beautiful manner, you cant help but feel yourself fill up with hope!
the story starts with huda learning that her parents are getting divorced, and her utter denial of this announcement. as huda tries to navigate this change, we see her change, and not for the better. she’s become meaner and irritable. especially with how others at the mosque whispers about her family. she starts to neglect the people around her and just begins to isolate herself. but as we read, we get to see her, get the help she needs and better understand what she is going through. this is such a real & raw representation of how we react to bad situations. one that we often overlook, cause its not perfect or clean. its messy, its chaotic, and painful--just like real life!
the art style is soo comforting, i just could instantly pick up each of the characters, even if it was my first time meeting them all!

Thank you so much, Colored Pages Book Tours, Penguin Teen, & Huda Fahmy for sending me a copy for tour! 🥰🫶

I absolutely love this graphic novel series! 😊 Huda F Wants to Know? is the third book in this series, which follows Huda, a muslim teen girl, as she navigates high school and home life with her sisters. This book follows Huda in her junior year after her parents tell her they are getting divorced. This book can not only relate to muslim readers but high schoolers and just people in general. During the story, Huda navigates the stages of divorce and the grief that comes with it. It makes her act out, and she ends up getting into a fight with her best friend. Even with the emotional scenes, humor is sprinkled in throughout to help keep the story light. I absolutely love just how real and raw Huda can be as a MC. Readers can see that she is flawed, but she ends up learning a lesson in each book that can be valuable to readers. You can’t help but to love her! ☺️ One thing I absolutely loved in this book is how Huda mentions how mental health is not always taken seriously by certain religions, in this case, Islam. This is a very real thing, and many kids live through this and aren’t able to talk about their mental health with their parents. Another small thing I loved is how we also see how differently Huda’s sisters react to the divorce news and shows the reader how wide and different grief can be. I can’t wait to see what Huda gets up to in her senior year! 🫶

Another great installment of the Huda F comic series. This one was a bit heavier than the others because it dealt with topics like divorce, but it was still very enjoyable. The art style is as fun as ever.

This was a quick, fun read. Huda is a junior in high school, and she has made a plan to succeed academically and get a scholarship for college. In a time of high stress, Huda's world falls apart as her parents announce their divorce.
The book follows Huda as she navigates all the emotions she's been feeling. The stress from school is more than enough, but with her parents' divorce, her whole world seems to be falling apart. Without a way to manage everything she's going through, Huda ends up saying and doing things out of anger and frustration. As a Muslim family, Huda's parents don't seem to believe in mental health, and there's a lot of expectations on Huda's shoulders.
I loved how while this book dealt with deep topics, it was still very humorous. I found myself chuckling from some of the dialogue. And Huda was a super fun character.
Overall, this is an interesting read, and I was able to learn more about Islam, its ideals, and how it's practiced.

Huda F is a character that I'd love to see more of! She absolutely knows who she is and wants to explore the world as only herself. I think in many instances, we tend to see Muslim characters only through the lens of tragedy, drama, or war but in this book we are able to see a normal teenage girl who happens to be Muslim, experiencing life. I can't wait to see more of what Huda Fahmy has to write!

Huda Fahmy’s Huda F Wants to Know (also published as Huda F Cares?) is a sharp, sincere, and laugh-out-loud follow-up to Huda F Are You?, blending humor, heart, and hijabs in a way that feels both refreshingly specific and universally relatable.
The beauty of Fahmy’s work lies in its tone: casual yet cutting, comedic but never dismissive. Through her signature clean, expressive illustrations and frank narration, Fahmy captures the swirling chaos of being a teen who cares a lot, even while pretending not to. Huda's internal monologue is painfully real—at once anxious, observant, and brilliantly funny.
This graphic novel is as much a meditation on faith and identity as it is a coming-of-age story. Fans of Raina Telgemeier, Jerry Craft, or Lucy Knisley will find a kindred spirit here. But unlike many graphic novels in the genre, Huda F Wants to Know puts a practicing Muslim teen front and center—not to explain herself, but to live, doubt, laugh, and slowly grow into her voice.
Fahmy never fails to deliver compelling, engrossing writing that leaves you both content and thoughtful.

Love this author! This is a great novel, well done to allow a peek into a life that not all of us have any insight on. I enjoyed this and will continue to read this author's work in the future.

Huda F is now a junior and thinks she has high school figured out: tests, college applications, clubs, and she even has her eye on someone this year. It's going to be a breeze.
But everything feels hopeless when her parents announce they are getting a divorce. Now she can't focus on anything! Now Huda F has to navigate junior year, her parents' impending breakup, and figure out her college plans without falling apart. Thank goodness she has Muslim Con to look forward to!
This is the third Huda F graphic novel in a series, touching on more serious topics than the previous two books. Not that Islamophobia and racism are small topics to write about, author Fahmy is even bolder in Huda F Wants to Know?, tackling social 'taboos' by addressing divorce (a reality, no matter your culture or religion), and seeking mental health support (which can carry a stigma). There's still her trademark humor and clever balance of school and family life, remaining relatable and without judgment. Fahmy also includes resources for teen mental health.
This series is so endearing, smart, and funny, so this is another must-read.

This funny and heartfelt graphic novel follows Huda as she navigates faith, identity, and growing up. With humor and honesty, it’s a relatable read that’s perfect for high school shelves

I love this series! This 3rd installment sees Huda experiencing some family drama that is all too relatable, all while growing up. I love her sisters who had humor and perspective. This fun, smart, & big-hearted series is perfect for my middle school class library - I've already ordered my copy!

I was already a big fan of Huda Fahmy, both in her previous book and her instagram posts. This graphic novel takes readers a step farther by including autobiographical info. We learn about a young Huda and her struggles, about her family, her faith, and most importantly how a person of faith reacts to life's stresses. I love in particular the role of family, friends, and her community in her moments of self doubt/discovery. Still a funny and touching book, but with generous room for therapy and support in unexpected places.

The third installment in Huda Fahmy's series is yet another great graphic novel. It is a must-read to continue the series. Like Huda's previous books, this is a hilarious, relatable, and refreshing read. Highly recommend.

✨Book Review✨
Huda F Wants to Know by Huda Fahmy
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
.
I love this graphic novel memoir series so so much. This third book did not disappoint at all! I loved how it delved into therapy and some deeper topics of loss and grief and how they aren't always just linked to death. I also loved how this book explored the ways in which mourning a loss can feel selfish. Super well done and would highly recommend this series to anyone!

Huda F Wants to Knows an insightful. semi-autobiographical graphic novel by author and artist, Huda Fahmy.. The novel starts with Huda entering her junior year of high school. She and her best friend have their year planned out from school to finally getting the attention of the cute boy in her class. However, all her plans are thrown into chaos when her parents announce they are getting a divorce. .
Figuring that her parents will figure things out, Huda decides to carry on as normal. But as the pressure mounts from her classes, her family life and the comments from her community, Huda becomes angrier and angrier. Encouraged by her mother after a huge fight with her best friend, Huda realizes that she will eventually have to deal with the problems she is facing,.
Fahmy is excellent at telling a nuanced story with her simplistic art style that is also universal. The struggles young Huda faces are ones that many teens face: school pressure, romance and dating, friendship dynamics and family changes. Fahmy addresses the grief and denial of her parents divorce with clarity and compassion and talks about her deteriorating mental health in a way that others can relate to and addresses how the stigma associated with mental health can lead to a delay in treatment
I highly recommend this graphic novel to anyone struggling with their mental health. Though this story deals with heavy topics, it is told with Fahmy's signature wit and compassion.
Note: I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review from Netgalley.

Huda Fahmy is a great graphic novel author. I enjoyed reading all of these books and the latest, "Huda F Wants to Know?" is no exception. In this book, things get a little more serious as Huda and her sisters learn of their parents' plans to get a divorce. This is a decision that cannot be taken lightly in the Muslim community. It disrupts the girls' peace and affects Huda in a bad way, derailing her plans for junior year. I will definitely be recommending this title for reluctant readers and those who enjoy graphic novels.

In this third installment of Huda, Huda Fahmy is prepared for junior year. She’s got her “How to Kick Junior Year’s Tush” plan that includes joining all the clubs, volunteering everywhere, acing her ACTs, and writing the most amazing essays for her scholarship applications. Easy!
But then Mama and Baba announce the unthinkable: they’re getting a divorce.
Huda is devastated. As she begins to worry what the divorce means to her family and how that will affect their place in the Muslim community, her grades start to tank, she has a big fight with her best friend, and Huda feels like she has control over nothing. Will anything in her life ever feel normal again? Huda F wants to know.
As per usual, as soon as I saw Huda had a new graphic novel out, I immediately asked for a copy to read, because every book she puts out I absolutely love.
This book, though humorous at times when Huda pokes fun at herself, does deal with heavier topics: divorce and mental health. I’ve got to give Huda praise on how well both of those were handled. She showed both what she sees within the community and how her family either deals with it themselves, or how they help her. The epilogue even has information about free mental health resources, including a special hotline for young Muslims.
I will be highly recommending this (and Huda’s whole series) to those who enjoy graphic novels that can sometimes deal with tough topics, but with a dash of humor mixed within the panels. Even though Huda is going through her parents’ divorce as a young Muslim woman, this novel would still resonate with all types of readers from all types of backgrounds.
*Thank you Dial Books and NetGalley for a digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review

Huda goes into some unexpected territory with this look at mental health and divorce. I loved seeing the different ways her community helps her process and deal with these events.

I loved the angstiness and the humor, both nicely balanced in a story about a life-changing and at times traumatic event like your parents' divorce. Anytime Huda burst into tears, I felt it. I felt the pent up worry and anger and frustration that comes with your parents announcing their divorce, how nothing makes sense for a while and how we tend to isolate ourselves when we least should.
I think you'll enjoy this if you like stories about divorce, grief and how messy it all is especially when you’re a teenager.

Thank you for the opportunity to read this book! Based on my preview of the book, we will be purchasing this for our school library to complete the current offerings in the Huda books -- my students, many of whom are Muslim -- enjoy these books and I like that Huda continues to grow older in each story and face new, relatable challenges. I particularly like that this one tackles mental health and anxieties about college after high school.

Another winner by Huda! This one was dramatic, funny, and will be a really great resource for students going through their own parents' divorces.
