ARC review; thanks to NetGalley, PENGUIN GROUP Penguin Young Readers Group, and Dial Books for the access to this ebook. Pub date: April 01, 2025.
I love the Huda series and this is no exception. This time, we follow Huda as she navigates the challenges and pressures of her junior year of high school as well as family turmoil after her parents announce they're getting a divorce.
"Huda F Wants to Know?" explores the grief of losing the kind of family you thought you had and what happens when you try to act like everything's fine instead of feeling and processing your emotions. Of course, it's from a Muslim perspective, so on top of everything Huda is experiencing, she also has to deal with judgment from her community and worry about what her family's place will be in it after such a big change.
These themes are all handled appropriately for its intended audience and it does it, as always, with a little humor to deliver important lessons. The balance between seriousness and the silliness that comes with being Huda's age is always perfect in these books. The humor works really well for me, so Huda never fails to make me laugh. She has great comedic timing!
Overall, a great entry to the series and I hope there are more in store.
