Does My Head Look Big in This? - Softcover
High school is tough enough without throwing a hijab into the mix... What's my class going to say on Monday when I walk in wearing a muslim veil for the first time? Oh boy, wil they freak out. Shawling up? It would be easier to wlk in naked. What am I doing being all holy and stuff? Covering my hair will officially label me the biggest loser of all time. And what will Adam say? Amal's decision to wear the hijab full-time takes a lot of guts. Can she cope with the prejudice, keep her friends and still attract the cutest boy in school?

From AudioFile:
Amal Abdel-Hakim is a 17-year-old Australian-Palestinian-Muslim whoÕs asking the same question all teens ask: How do I fit into my world?. SheÕs bright, pretty, popular, and sheÕs just decided to wear the hijab--the headscarf--full time. How this changes AmalÕs life is recounted in serious and hilarious detail and narrated with authenticity by Rebecca Macauley, who manages both teen angst and adult tones with equal aplomb. While the Australian slang may sometimes mystify American teens, the storyÕs universal appeal and MacaulayÕs gifted narration will keep listeners fully engaged in AmalÕs struggle to be an observant Muslim while still maintaining an ordinary teenagerÕs life.
