About this listen
Huda's sitting in the airport lounge, fiddling with our tickets. I can tell she's excited because she has a little smile on her face and she keeps glancing at her pink digital watch. I can't believe we're doing this. I can't believe we're running away from home. Well, we're not really running away. We'll come back. We're running to our parents. On the other side of the world.
When their parents have to travel to Beirut unexpectedly, 12-year-old Akeal and his six siblings are horrified to be left behind in Melbourne with the dreaded Aunt Amel as their babysitter. Things do not go well, and Akeal's naughty little sister, Huda, hatches a bold plan to escape. After stealing Aunt Amel's credit card to buy plane tickets to Lebanon, Huda persuades her reluctant favourite brother to come with her. So begins Huda and Akeal's hair-raising and action-packed journey to reunite with their parents half a world away, in a city they've grown up dreaming about but have never seen.

Fun and cheeky, full of love and respect
This is a fun and exciting book for younger readers, though older readers would also enjoy. 2 siblings with an unbreakable bond are on a mission. Beautiful insights are shared along the way.

Great Story and Quality Literature!
For this time and age, this is such a relatable story! Absolute cultural treat with an adventure so beautifully put! My children listened to this story last year and went on to order the book this year and read the story again. Looking forward to more titles!
