Does My Head Look Big in This? by Randa Abdel-Fattah. Scholastic, 2007. 360 pages.

When 16 year old Amal decides to wear the hijab full time-- including to high school--all her well thought out plans had not prepared her for the reaction she gets; reactions from her friends, her enemies, her family. This well written and fast moving book is Abdel-Fattah's first and best work. Funny, believeable and strong females from this Australian import. Highly recommended.
