Rebellious Muslim Teenagers? Me?

     Im not really into novels or even any kind of book esp educational books. But one day in Popular bookstore, my sis n i just discovered one really brilliant novel from a new novelist. The front cover was really captivating; a picture of a very cute girl with blonde hair. As for the back cover, shes wearing a hijab n cover her blonde hair. Sounds intersting yeah? Split identity maybe? no-lah...

(Different version of front cover) TEN THINGS I HATE ABOUT ME was the title of that 303 pages-novel. not really a love novel, but still project some interesting theme bout muslim world in a non-muslim region. Its kinda sad that book's cover is pink colour makes me wanna read it only in private place..huhu. Lets have some sypnosis of this novel, shall we?

    " TEN THINGS I HATE ABOUT ME : Who am I? Jamie or Jamilah? At school i'm Aussie-blonde Jamie- one of the crowd. At home i'm Muslim Jamilah - driven mad by stone age dad. I should win an Oscar for my acting skills. But I can't keep it up for much longer..."

     Huhu, isnt it sounded so so mystery to noe the content? This novel was the second novel wrote by this very hot (i mean really damn hot) novelist, named Randa Abdel-Fattah. The first was DOES MY HEAD LOOK BIG IN THIS? Sypnosis- "High school is tough enough without throwing a hijab into the mix... 15 year old Amal's decision to wear the Muslim veil full-time takes a lot of guts. Can she cope with the prejudice, keep her friends, and still attract the cutest boy in school?" cool isnt it, the first novel?

     Randa Abdel-Fattah is a 27 year old lawyer. Her first novel received much critical acclaim when it was published in 2006. It won the Australian Book of the Year for Older Children in the same year. Grew up in Melbourne, but now lives in sydney where sehe is active in the inter-faith community. She is also a member of Palestinian human rights campaigns and the Australian Arabic Council. She loves travelling to Egypt and Palestine and being spoilt by relatives, watching romandic comedies, her husband's sense of humour, getting a seat on the train, and any movie starring Colin Firth. Rand has a baby daughter. Cute!

     If u r interested in reading this novel, im recommending it to you, bought it. Its only RM 42.90. I noe, kinda expensive...but try to buy it, of coz using ur own                            money...its fun!
