She started high school in a new city (Dearborn, Michigan) and a new school, where she was no longer the only one wearing a hijab.<\/p>\n<p>So if she no longer stood out as the one hijabi at the school, who was she?  Where did she fit in?<\/p>\n<p>The highly relatable search for identity in high school makes a fun graphic novel.  Of course there are missteps making friends and plenty of awkward attempts at fitting in.  Teens will relate, whether they are Muslim or not, and those who are not will gain some insight and empathy along with the laughter.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.penguinteen.com\/\">PenguinTeen.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/0593324315\/sonderbooksco-20\" target=\"outside\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Buy from Amazon.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Disclosure: I am an Amazon Affiliate, and will earn a small percentage if you order a book on Amazon after clicking through from my site.<\/p>\n<p>Disclaimer:  I am a professional librarian, but the views expressed are solely my own, and in no way represent the official views of my employer or of any committee or group of which I am part.<\/p>\n<p>What did you think of this book?<\/p>\n<p>*Note* To try to catch up on posting reviews, I\u2019m posting the oldest reviews I\u2019ve written on my blog without making a page on my main website.
