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…

This story is about a girl called Huda and her journey to get her dad a job. Huda’s dad, Ibrahim, used to work as a security officer for a neighbourhood, however, because crime was no longer a problem in the neighbourhood, the community didn’t need his services. Huda thought of an idea to cause mischief in the neighbourhood so that the community would have no choice but to hire Ibrahim back again as a security guard. Huda caused lots of crime with Akeal (her older brother) like, doing graffiti on private property and tossing filled rubbish bins down. I love this book as it shows what a person can do to keep their family together and running. I would recommend this book to anyone who would likes an exciting and adventurous book. I give it a rating of 4/5 as I would like a few illustrations in a book, it could make the reader want to read it more.
