Reviews
“[A] witty, sensitive debut . . .” -PEOPLE “More than the usual story of the immigrant teen’s conflict with her traditional parents, the funny, touching contemporary narrative will grab teens everywhere.” –BOOKLIST (starred) “Determined to prove she’s strong enough to ‘wear a badge of my faith,’ Amal faces ostracism and ridicule as she dons her hijab with both good humor and trepidation. . . . Abdel-Fattah’s fine first novel offers a world of insight to post-9/11 readers.” –KIRKUS REVIEWS (starred) “Using a winning mix of humor and sensitivity, Abdel-Fattah ably demonstrates that her heroine is, at heart, a teen like any other. This debut should speak to anyone who has felt like an outsider for any reason.” –PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
