Amal, an Australian teenager from a Muslim family, decides to wear the hijab at school too and must cope with the reactions it provokes. The novel follows her daily life among friends, studies and first love, and reflects with humour on prejudice, identity, religion and cultural integration.

Aimed at young readers aged 14 to 16, especially those who enjoy contemporary novels about identity and multiculturalism.
Randa Abdel-Fattah is an Australian sociologist, lawyer and writer. She is an advocate for human rights, particularly for Palestinian people. Much of her work focuses on identity and what it means to be Muslim in Australia. Her debut novel, Does My Head Look Big in This?, was published in 2005. Her 2025 novel, Discipline, came to public attention after Abdel-Fattah was disinvited from the 2026 Adelaide Writers' Week, leading to a boycott by most of the scheduled participants and the subsequent cancellation of the event.
