(2) YA Eleventh-grade "Australian-Muslim-Palestinian" Amal debates the pros and cons of wearing the hijab (Muslim head scarf) full-time. She is supported by her friends, and their IM chats and discussions, peppered with references to fashion, music, pop culture, and Amal's crush, also explore practices of Islam while dismantling stereotypes. The girls' thoughts and dreams are authentically adolescent, providing a bridge between cultures.
