Huda F Are You? by Huda Fahmy 192 pages
Huda Fahmy is a Muslim and in this book she has written a memoir about her first year of highschool being a Muslim, a teenager and a hijabi girl living in Dearborn, Michigan. The book talks about how she is trying to understand who she is growing up in a society where in the Muslim community she still wants to define herself. Is she a hijabi fashionista? A hijabi gamer? She tries becoming a member of many different cliques at highschool trying to see just where she fits in but none of the groups she attempts to become a part of really speak to her of feeling included nor ever really finding that spark of this is who she is and what she wants to be. It takes trying on the various different interests to bring her to where she gets a better understanding of herself and where she fits. A really good coming of age story relateable to all teens who are going through the feeling different stage to find their identity in life. I recommend this book to middleschoolers on up Muslim and non-Muslim alike. We all search to find our place and our role in life and this book is very user-friendly in showing how to navigate that difficult journey.
