Summary

More
When 16-year-old Amal decides to start wearing the hijab full-time, everyone has a reaction. Her parents, her teachers, her friends, even people on the street. All because of a piece of cloth that covers her head. Who knew? But Amal stands by her decision to embrace her faith and all that it is—even if it does make her a little different from everyone else.

Can Amal handle the taunts of "towel head" and the prejudice of her classmates, and still attract the cutest boy in school? Brilliantly funny and poignant, Randa Abdel-Fattah's debut novel will strike a chord in teen readers, no matter what their beliefs.
