Don't panic - I'm Islamic! Amal is a 16-year-old Melbourne teen with all the usual obsessions about boys, chocolate and Cosmo magazine. She's also a Muslim, struggling to honour the Islamic faith in a society that doesn't understand it. The story of her decision to "shawl up" is funny, surprising and touching by turns.

I really wanted to love this - the concept jumped out at me and I was really excited to read it. Parts feel forced, though, and it took me out of the story enough that even though the writing was mostly good, my end feeling about the book was just “okay.”
