Saving Sunshine by Saadia Faruqi

4.0

Another solid read from Saadia Faruqi. Saving Sunshine follows a set of twins that can seem to get along. Tired of their antics and arguments, their parents decide to take their phones from them while on vacation to force the two to spend some time with each other. Although it was rough at first, the twins eventually learn to see things from the perspective of the other and work towards building a better relationship. This was a fast paced and interesting graphic novel that takes a look at the dynamics between siblings. It also interweaves discussions of immigration, Islamophobia, and conservation, racism, and bullying. I enjoyed the artwork which has a softer and more neutral tone to it. Overall, this was a good read and I'm happy to so see more Muslim representation in graphic novels.
