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" and its attendent anxieties (like how much eyeliner to wear) is funny, surprising and touching.
Drawing on local interviews but global in scope, this book is the first to examine the lives of a generation for whom the rise of the far-right, the discourse of Trump and Brexit and the growing polarisation of politics seems normal in the long aftermath of 9/11. It's about time we hear what they have to say.
Lara er venneskaber for hele skolen. Hun bruger al sin tid på at lave venskaber mellem de andre på børn, så ingen bliver mobbet. Skolen er nemlig en krigszone, og man er dødsens, hvis man ikke passer ind. Men så begynder Emily i klassen, og hun bryder alle Laras regler. Hendes tøjstil er håbløs, hun hører barnlig musik og gør lige, hvad hun har lyst til. Hun synes, at Laras regler er forkerte.Lara er sikker på, at Emily snart vil blive mobbet, men det sker ikke. Tværtimod. Til sidst laver Lara og Emily en konkurrence om, hvem af de to der er bedst til at lave nye venskaber. Hvem vinder? Og hvorfor mon Lara har besluttet, at hun ikke selv vil have venner?LEKTØRUDTALELSE"Fin og relevant bog om et emne, der stadig er sørgelig aktuel.
