Randa Abdel-fattah Paperback, 368 pages Second Edition 9780702316548 In Randa Abdel-Fattah’s brilliant debut novel, Amal, an Australian-Palestinian girl living in a suburb of Melbo urne, makes the biggest decision of her life, to wear the hijab, the Muslim head scarf, full-time. In spite of her parents’ gentle warnings and the ostracising that is sure to come from the other kids at her snobby prep school, Amal’s decision springs from a deep sense of faith, and she is certain - well, almost certain - that she’s ready to take this step. But can she handle the taunts of “towel-head,” navigate the wilds of a mad crush, and stay true to herself? Amal is sassy, intelligent, sensitive, and hilarious, and her journey of faith will take readers down an unexpected and very entertaining path. Show more
