This whole series is so great! Semi-autobiographical, comedic graphic novels about coming of age as a Muslim young woman in the United States. This latest installment tackles mental health and divorce, through a modern Islamic religious lens. Huda's parents are getting divorced and she is struggling with anger and anxiety that's affecting even her relationship with her best friend. She also has a crush on a cute boy, but isn't allowed to date yet. The story works through complicated feelings about parents ending their relationship, and deals with mental health in a pro-therapy way. Plus there is the author's signature brand of humor and relatable sibling dynamics. Definitely worth reading! I received a copy of this book for review from the publisher, all opinions are my own.

I always look to Huda’s cartoons for her humor (aka sarcasm). Her simplistic drawing veils the deeper message that she drives across her columns. Within the limited frames, she’s able to educate and talk about heavier issues of racism, societal expectations and human relationships especially from the point of view of an Arab Muslim living in America.

In Huda F Wants to Know, Huda is in her sophomore year, and that means she’s busy preparing for her future! She needs to ace her exams, prepare for adulthood while surviving her hectic workload and extracurricular activities at school. With her best friend Nabz, they plan on conquering their sophomore year and come out on top, even if they have quite a load on their hands.

The sacrifices, she is willing to give her all, but what she doesn’t expect turns into reality – her parents make the shocking decision to divorce. As if navigating her hormonal and significant year in high school is not enough, now she has to question her whole existence, beliefs and values? Whatever happens to the familial values she and her sisters have been drilled with since young? Don’t the parents love them anymore? What happens now?

This is the heaviest work by Huda that I’ve read so far, but she also manages to include witty banters, illuminating bits about mental health, faith and self-acceptance. Funny, emotional and witty, Huda F’s works are worth exploring, regardless of your background. This work is inspired by Huda’s life, and I appreciate her sharing the anxiety and dilemma she faced, which I’m sure can speak to readers who experience similar issues whether they face challenges with their family, friends or self-love. I look forward to the next one!

This graphic novel will be published April 1st, 2025. Many thanks to Penguin Young Readers Group and Netgalley for the advanced readers copy. @PenguinTeen

Another fantastic installment in Huda's story. There are always laugh out loud moments and serious thoughtful moments in this series. Huda F Wants to know is a must have where the other titles in this series are popular.

*I always have less to say about graphic novels, but for this I thinks it's because I vibed too hard and took 0 notes
*The plot seems like it's going to be about divorce but more deeply it's about Huda grappling with her own feelings in several arenas and learning better emotional management skills but written and illustrated with the perfect amount of levity and humor to not feel overwhelming
*In so many ways this its antithesis of the usual my-parents-are-ruining-my-life temper tantrum teenagers in YA are allowed to throw.
*I can't describe it, honestly just buy it and read it.
*If humor or big families or graphic novels ft. high schoolers or grumpy girls who get better or halaqas at the masjid or sister relationships or abaya representation interests you, you're gonna love it.

*my literal only complaint is that I'm Nosy and was curious about things (like what are Huda's sisters ages? And why is Nabz in therapy? I want to be a fly on their walls 👁👄👁)

Love the continuation of the series by Huda Fahmy! It deals with real issues in a very relatable and humorous way.

Some people don't know this about me. I have experienced Arabic Muslim society and its cultures as I have lived in many such countries thanks to my Dad. And I have always felt at home reading books based on this culture, as if I am getting back to my roots despite being an Indian Hindu, *wink*, so when I got an opportunity to read this book, I literally jumped on it.

This book is the third in a series of graphic novels by the author based on a character Huda F with her family of sisters and parents navigating a recent move to a town in the US with more prominent Muslim integration of population, correlating with the cross cultural experiences of new crushes, identities.

This book delves into a new problem Huda F experiences. Her parents are separating, which is quite a taboo subject in the Muslim community, how does she deal with the new changes, fearing the unknown adding in themes of mental health forms the core of the book.

I loved this book from start to finish, I couldn't put it down. I love the fact that the author stays true to the cultural elements which I love already but also makes it fluid enough for Huda to meld into the current generation's lifestyles, which is always a tough subject to talk with oldies, which needs to be brought to focus at the moment.

Rating - 5 stars. Book Recommendation - Hell Yeah.

This book was so good! Tt beautifully handles the topics of divorce and mental health, and how kids react to it. It gives great advice while being heartfelt and hilarious. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a good and funny read!

Huda Fahmy has gifted us with another great graphic novel. This third installment in the Huda F series follows our main character as she deals with the aftermath of her parents announcing that they are getting a divorce. She takes a very serious topic and adds a bit of humor to lighten it up. She also tackles the taboo of mental health, showing the anger and grief that many experience when their family breaks apart.

I will definitely be purchasing this one for my students.
Mental Health resources included at the back of the book.

This is the fourth book I've read by Huda Fahmy and I've enjoyed them all. This one was definitely a more serious topic that hit on things that a lot of books don't, which I really appreciated.

The only thing I didn't like was that I didn't know who the characters were. They weren't introduced in any significant way. Clearly they were her sisters, but why was one just in a dotted outline? I wish there had been a "cast of characters" type introduction because it was hard to keep track of who was who.

Always love a Huda F book! They're witty and fun and cozy, but also so insightful and handle heavy topics and the feelings they bring up straight on. This Huda F books addresses divorce and mental health and having sister through it all.

Huda had her junior year plan mapped out and she’s determined to follow it through… until her parents announced their decision to divorce. Soon enough, Huda was spiraling. At the same time, her teenage hormones started to make her interested in boys. Huda was feeling a lot of big emotions and struggled to sort things out.

This isn’t as lighthearted as the previous books in the Huda F series, even though it’s still easy to digest for a topic about grief and loss. Unfortunately the ARC is in grayscale, so my reading experience wasn’t full.

Thanks to NetGalley and the author for granting me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest rating!

In the latest graphic novel from Huda Fahmy, the author recounts a based on real life but fictional version of junior year.

Her comics are entertaining while dealing with serious topics like divorce, generational trauma, and mental health. It lends amusement to helpful discussion of various topics, and I appreciate the link to resources in the end of the book. I also appreciate the several meme references. A very nice touch.

It was also interesting being thrown back into high school, but from entirely different perspectives. For all that makes people different, its fun, or not so fun, but nice that we all deal with similar distresses trying to get out of that place, no matter our background.

I continue to marvel at the ease of Fahmy's dialogue and illustrations to connect to deeply through a book to a character like Huda. The experiences are so universal that she feels like someone to have tea with. The live-out-loud emotions that she expresses, specifically in this story, can be used for SEL or as a mirror or window for any kid reading the book (and even adults!)

In this book, Huda's parents make a startling confession which upends Huda and her junior year where her grades are tanking a bit, she's on the outs with a friend, and driving lessons are bumping along. She'll have to get things in check if she wants to survive the year and look forward to senior year.

I can't wait to see the full color of the finished product as I'm reading an advanced copy via Netgalley. I'm glad to have the experience of another Huda book-- keep 'em coming!

***ARC by NetGalley***

Huda is in her third (junior) year of high school and she has it all planned out. And then her parents announce they are divorcing, which sends her into a tailspin.

This novel is beautifully drawn and the story highly relatable for anyone whose parents have divorced. I would recommend this to any young person who is struggling with a similar situation. Although the main character is Muslim, that does not make it any less relatable to a reader who may not be. If anything, they will learn more about that culture. Think two for the price of one.

SO. GOOD.

Dare I say Huda's best book yet!! Alongside her usual wonderful humor, this book tackles some strong topics for the Muslim community, mainly divorce and mental health. Some of the lines in this book made me cry my eyes out and I can't emphasize how much you should read it!

Thank you so much to Huda Famey and PENGUIN GROUP Penguin Young Readers Group for providing me with the Arc of this book.

4.25/5 Stars

Having read the first book in this series, I loved seeing the evolution of Huda as a character and how see copes through the challenges she faces in this new book. I love the art style and storytelling in this book. I found Huda's struggles with mental health and junior year to be relatable and realistic. I would highly recommend this series to anyone looking for a funny but emotional story.

This was such a fun graphic novel! It’s my favorite of the series so far—I loved seeing a new perspective for Huda and watching her grow the most in this book. The art is cute and approachable, making it an easy recommendation for young readers. There are plenty of laughs, especially in this installment, and overall, it’s just a great time. I would absolutely pass this series on to a young person heading into or starting high school.

Thank you #netgalley for the ARC. I have not read any Huda books before this, and I really like how the story is told. Ms. Fahmy captures "all the feels" of adolescence, divorce, future plans, and friendships/relationships. I enjoyed watching Huda and her family navigate the situation they were in, and I had an emotional reaction to parts of the book. I would love to add this to our book club!
