So much of the character description and portrayal came across as Islamaphobia or colorism. I was expecting a fun children’s book, and the story was but it was hard to unsee from just the very beginning of the book. I huge reminder of when these books were written and so far out of the series I think this would be one that hasn’t aged well.
