Description :


Review :  As soon as sixteen-year-old Amal makes the decision to start wearing the hijab full-time, everyone has a reaction. Her parents, her teachers, her friends, people on the street. But she 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 she handle the taunts of “towel head” and the prejudice of her classmates—and still hang out with the cutest schoolfreinds in school? Brilliantly funny and poignant, Randa Abdel-Fattah’s debut novel will strike a chord in all teenage readers, no matter what their beliefs.  



From the Author: Randa Abdel-Fattah is a twenty-six-year-old lawyer. Does My Head Look Big in This? is her first novel, and like its fictional heroine, she has her own identity hyphens to contend with as an Australian-born-Muslim-Palestinian-Egyptian-choc-a-holic. She lives in Sydney, Australia.
