"Does my head look big in this" is a novel based on a teenage girl making the decision to wear the hijab. Throughout the book she faces constant problems with what others think about her. She experiences teasing, verbal abuse, and even some physical abuse. But isnt that what happens when your a muslim girl, going to a cathlolic school? your just supposed to be discriminated against, because your expected not to bring your beliefs to school?
Even though Amal goes through so much that would usually drive you mad, she stays strong and never second- guesses herself. Not only the aspect and plot of the story was great, but the characters were described in a way that you could make an image in your mind. They went through life problems that everyone constantly faces, and the plus side of that is it's easy to relate to, and feel a strong connection with the character that felt the same difficulties you may have. And it does not only have to be the difficulties you face, but the ups of your life as well. you can feel the moment of happiness all over again and be able to say "i know how the character feels..."
Thats the reason i really liked this story, it wasnt like others where you couldnt feel the emotions the character was trying to portray in the characters, but in this book i definatley did.
