HUDA F CARES?

Author and narrator Huda Fahmy's graphic novel is adapted into a very funny audiobook with a full cast, music, and sound effects. Fahmy's rich timbre distinguishes Huda, a good-hearted teen, from her three sisters as they share a family trip, driving from Michigan to Disney World. Fahmy delivers comical sarcasm as Huda chafes at her parents' insistence that she bond with her sisters and publicly practice her Muslim faith in an environment that's not conducive to either. Cartoon-style voices reveal Huda's amusing thoughts whenever she feels conflict between her responsibilities and her wants--which often win out. Aixa Kay is excellent as Huda's mom. Kay's accent reminds listeners that she is likely an immigrant, but her humorous words and wisdom are typical of many caring, protective moms.
