APPEALS TO: MANY

A family of five girls is a lot - especially during the summer. While the youngest is off studying for her Quran intensive, the other four are headed for a 24-hour trip to DisneyWorld. Bonding with your sisters is not so easy, as Huda is more than ready to show us. Add on top of that the prejudice the girls encounter, even at the Happiest Place on Earth. 

I love Huda’s no-nonsense look at life. Her sister drama is spot on - showing the “I can harass my sister, but you’d better not touch her” aspect very well. I love Huda!
