Over winter break, Austrailian teen Amal makes the biggest decision of her life. She decides to wear a hijab, the Muslim head scarf, full time. The decision was hers and hers alone, yet nobody seems to understand that. Many people, her principal included, are convinced that her parents are forcing her into it. Going to her snobby prep school day after day, while enduring classmates who ask her to give a speech to the whole school why terrorists do what they do and how Islam justifies it, is bad enough, but she also has to deal with all the other realities of being a high school girl. She has her first, serious mad crush on a boy, she fights with her parents, goes shopping with friends, and learns more about herself than she thought she would when she first put on the hijab.Find this book shelved under Y ABD
