Huda F Cares: (National Book Award Finalist)

Huda and her sisters cant believe it when her parents announce that theyre actually taking a vacation this summer . . . to DISNEY WORLD! But its not quite as perfect as it seems. First Huda has to survive a 24-hour road trip from Michigan to Florida, with her sisters annoying her all the way. And then she cant help but notice the people staring at her and her family when they pray in public. Back home in Deerborn she and her family blend right in because there are so many other Muslim families, but not so much in Florida and along the way. It's a vacation of forced (but unexpectly successful?) sisterly bonding, a complicated new friendship, a bit more independence, and some mixed feelings about her family's public prayers. Huda is proud of her religion and who she is, but she still sure wishes she didnt care so much what other people thought. See more
