Another seven little Australians, with Huda Hayek

Huda Hayek talks about fictionalising her siblings, sticking to her plan in the face of negative feedback, and her journey from reluctant reader to published author.

Forgive me: the very start of my chat with Huda was spirited away by a recording software ghost called Vengeful Violet, so it sounds as if I’m talking to myself for a couple of minutes.

Works mentioned:

Huda and Me by H. Hayek (2021)

Huda Was Here by H. Hayek (2023)

To and Fro by Anton Clifford-Motopi (coming in March 2024)


Great read-alikes for Huda & Me

For readers who love realism with a touch of adventure, mystery and/or humour, alongside reading Huda & Me I recommend The Power of Positive Thinking by Nat Amoore, High Rise Mystery by Sharna Jackson, The Lion at the Door by Onjali Q. Rauf, Extra Time by Morris Gleitzman, and Rainfish by Andrew Paterson.
