Amal is a 16-year-old with all the usual obsessions about boys, chocolate and Cosmo Girl magazine. She's also a Muslim, struggling to honour the Islamic faith in a society that doesn't understand it.

Will covering her hair officially label her the biggest loser of all time with her new classmates? And more importantly what will the super-gorgeous Adam think?
