Ten Things I Hate About Me Award-winning author by Randa Abdel-Fattah (author)

‘At school I’m Aussie-blond Jamie – one of the crowd. At home I’m Muslim Jamilah – driven mad by my Stone Age dad. I should win an Oscar for my acting. But how long can I keep it up?’ This warm, sensitive tale from the author of Does My Head Look Big In This? examines the place where family loyalties collide with the outside world. As Jamie slowly finds the courage to accept the person she is, her struggle for identity creates a powerful exploration of friendship, family and faith.
