Description
Hasan has been fasting for Ramadan for 3 years. But this year, Ramadan started earlier, and it’s happening during Hasan’s soccer playoffs, and he’ll need to fast. To make things worse, he hasn’t told his teachers, friends, and teammates that he is fasting. Hasan is tired and hungry at school. He falls asleep during math class and dreams about hamburgers. Will Hasan’s grades, soccer games, and friendships suffer.
I liked this book and the story. I didn’t know about Ramadan and fasting, so I liked how I learned something new. I just didn’t understand why Hasan didn’t tell his friends, teachers, and teammates that he was fasting. They are very supportive of him. At first, I didn’t understand why Hasan’s parents would let him fast when he was struggling at school. But then I realized it was Hasan’s idea to fast, not his parents’. I recommend this graphic novel to anyone who wants to learn about Muslim cultures and Ramadan.
