Reviews with content warning for Bullying - Huda F er du?

A great slice-of-life graphic novel about being Muslim in America. Huda's just trying to figure out where to fit in, especially in a new school. There's a tone of humor throughout that makes this a quick read, and an important addition to the growing number of YA graphic novels. Overall, a great time!

Oh this was so lovely. I was worried in the author's note, that it would be a sob identity story/more for a white audience, but actually it was really authentic and real and so funny, I was laughing on the commute to uni so much!

A strong graphic memoir that shares relatable stories of a girl trying to navigate school while trying to find out who she is.

In the past, Huda has been able to identify as the girl who wears a hijab, but after moving to a town with a large Muslim population, Huda realizes that her hijab is not what defines her anymore. Through raw descriptions, Huda shares what it was like for her to try and find what "group" she fit into best, feeling the pressures of family and peers the whole time.

One of the things I appreciate most about this graphic novel is that it covers many important, tough topics in a way that is understandable to young adult readers. This is a story I will absolutely be recommending.

I appreciated the journey of self discovery, as well as the positive reinforcement for seeking therapy. I learned more about Muslim culture because I had to look up words I didn't know so some perhaps unintended educational value.

onderful book. I loved how they explored identity with such ease and beauty. I related so much and learned a ton, the character had a lot of depth.
