£6.99
Huda and Me are Huda and her older brother Akeal. Not only have they found their passports, hidden in the bottom of Dad’s wardrobe, but they’ve stolen Aunt Amel’s credit card. They are heading to Beirut, where Mama and Baba have travelled to care for Mama’s mother.
Their parents entrusted Aunt Amel, whom Mama believed was the closest person to family they had in Melbourne, Australia, to look after the children. However Aunt Amel’s plans are for a holiday. This means a role for each child, from chauffeur to personal groom, bakers and cleaner and butler! Worse is she’s seemingly kidnapped their baby brother so they have no access to him. What’s more, the children are denied early morning prayers, and forced awake to begin work before dawn! Although Akeal attempts to share what is happening with his teacher, their situation is brushed away. Then again, Aunt Amel insists Huda was sleepwalking when she discovers her at their neighbour’s door!
Will Huda and Akeal’s plan work? Then again, if they make it to Beirut, what might they find?
Huda and Me is a pacy, bold, clever and funny adventure story, from Melbourne to Beirut, with a lot more in between!
