by J. Samia Mair
This topsy turvy adventure on Sycamore Street sees brother and sister Hude and Amani arrive in Fairfax County, Maryland with one thought: it was going to be a long, boring summer in the country. They couldn't be more wrong.
With Grandma Hana's new neighbour planning to pull down her prized peach tree and a gang, led by the archer Bobby, marshaling the local lake, Hude and Amani have a hard time getting any peace. In this warm and comical story, find out how, under the watchful eyes of Grandma Hana, Hude and Amani plan to save the peach tree and beat Bobby at his own game before leaving Sycamore Street behind.

I read this aloud to my 7 year old and 5 year old. We all enjoyed it! Not only is the story fun and gripping, I love that it incorporates sunnah and hadith into the story and how that influences the behaviour of the characters. I would definitely recommend it to others.

I read this book aloud to my kids aged 9,7,4
The story was fun and gripping,kids couldn't wait for the next chapter.however what I liked most about the book was it's little pearls of wisdom they placed in strategic places like hadith and Quranic ayats and also going on to explain how it is relevant to what's happening to the story. I think it would be so awesome if we were all able to be like grandma Hanna and advice our kids based on Qur'an and hadith. An excellent read

This 180-page chapter book sees siblings Hude and Amani visit their grandmother in the town of Cherry Hill for the Summer. Being in the countryside, Hude assumes it’s going to be boring while Amani thinks it will be relaxing. The siblings find themselves dealing with a not-so-happy neighbour, bullying and even annoying bugs! This book is quite fast-paced and readers also learn more about archery, a Sunnah sport.
