Does my head look big in this?

The slide opened and I heard a gentle, kind voice: What is your confession, my child? I was stuffed. The Priest would declare me a heretic; my parents would call me a traitor... The Priest asked me again: What is your confession, my child? I'm Muslim. I whispered. Welcome to my world. I'm Amal Abdel-Hakim, a seventeen year-old Australian-Palestinian-Muslim still trying to come to grips with my various identity hyphens. It's hard enough being cool as a teenager when being one issue behind the latest Cosmo is enough to disqualify you from the in-group. Try wearing a veil on your head and practising the bum's up position at lunchtime and you know you're in for a tough time at school. Luckily my friends support me, although they've got a few troubles of their own. Simone, blonde, gorgeous and overweight - she's got serious image issues, and Leila's really intelligent but her parents are more interested in her getting a marriage certificate than her high school certificate! And I thought I had problems... Winner of the ABIA Awards' Book of the Year for Older Children 2006.

  • "Amal beschliesst aus eigenem Willen nach den Ferien den Hijab, das muslimische Kopftuch, zu tragen. Auch wenn sie sich fünfmal am Tag zum Gebet zurückzieht, muss sie ja noch lange keine Folge Sex&TheCity verpassen. Doch das müssen einige ihrer Mitschüler und ganz besonders Adam erst begreifen."
  • "Year Eleven at an exclusive prep school in the suburbs of Melbourne, Australia, would be tough enough, but it is further complicated for Amal when she decides to wear the hijab, the Muslim head scarf, full-time as a badge of her faith--without losing her identity or sense of style."@en
