SHORTLISTED FOR THE LEACOCK MEDAL FOR HUMOUR, THE KOBO EMERGING WRITER PRIZE AND TWO SASKATCHEWAN BOOK AWARDS Zarqa Nawaz has always straddled two cultures. She’s just as likely to be agonizing over which sparkly earrings will “pimp out” her hijab as to be flirting with the Walmart meat manager in a futile attempt to secure halal chicken the day before Eid. “Little Mosque on the Prairie” brought Zarqa’s own laugh-out-loud take on her everyday culture clash to viewers around the world. And now, in Laughing All the Way to the Mosque, she tells the sometimes absurd, sometimes challenging, always funny stories of being Zarqa in a western society. From explaining to the plumber why the toilet must be within sitting arm’s reach of the water tap (hint: it involves a watering can and a Muslim obsession with cleanliness “down there”) to urging the electrician to place an eye-height electrical socket for her father-in-law’s epilepsy-inducing light-up picture of the Kaaba, Zarqa paints a hilarious portrait of growing up in a household where, according to her father, the Quran says it’s okay to eat at McDonald’s—but only if you order the McFish.

Regina (Gigi) Spacola spent her entire college career working hard. She only had two rules to live by. Rule #1 was to work hard and get good grades. Rule #2 was don’t make the same mistake her friends made. Don’t date Jeremy Cotton! He was known for breaking every girl’s heart and she was not going to fall victim to his seductive ways. To that very end, Gigi succeeded in glorious fashion on both accounts. Then, they bumped into each other during a college graduation celebration and their lives would never be the same again. Over the course of the summer, Gigi started a new job as a sale woman for QualTel Communications. She spends her days learning about their products and developing the skills required to be a successful salesperson. But a whole new level of fun comes when she starts meeting customers and experiencing a series of mishaps that show you just how Gigi found herself laughing all the way to the bank.
