Huda Was Here
About this book
Huda hatches a bold plan to help her dad get a job - which lands her and her brother in all kinds of trouble. A delightful and hilarious story from a CBCA award-winning author, about a lion-hearted girl who just wants the best for her family.
Huda yawns loudly and stretches out her arms. Almost like she's bored in science class and waiting for the bell to go for lunch. Except we're not at school, we're in police custody. Because of her stupid idea.
When her dad loses his job as a security officer and has to work interstate, Huda convinces her brother Akeal to sneak out at night to make mischief, hoping to force their dad's bosses to hire him back.
As their misdeeds escalate, will the daring duo be able to outsmart the authorities? How much are they willing to risk for family unity - and what else might they uncover along the way?
A thoroughly entertaining story full of hijinks, courage and hilarity.
Praise for the CBCA shortlisted Huda and Me:
'An irresistible invitation to young readers to embrace a story that is wonderfully fresh.' RANDA ABDEL-FATTAH, author, The Lines We Cross
'Sparkling with mischief, adventure and family love, Huda and Me is a gem of a story.' KIRSTY MURRAY, author, Eat the Sky, Drink the Ocean
