An empowering story about finding your identity and the
courage to fight for it.
Aaliyah is an ordinary thirteen-year-old living in the Midlands
- she's into her books, shoes, K-pop and she is a Muslim. She has
always felt at home where she lives ... until a terrorist attack
in her area changes everything.
As racial tensions increase and she starts getting bullied, Aaliyah
decides to begin wearing a hijab - to challenge how people
in her community see her.
But when her school bans the hijab and she is intimidated
and attacked for her choices, she feels isolated.
Soon Aaliyah realises that other young people from different backgrounds
also struggle with their identity and feel alone, scared
and judged. Should she try to blend in - or can she find allies
to help her fight back?
Channelling all of her bravery, Aaliyah decides to speak out.
Together, can Aaliyah and her friends halt the tide of hatred
rippling through their community?
An essential read to encourage empathy, challenging stereotypes,
exploring prejudice, racism, Islamophobia and
positive action.
A.M. Dassu is the award-winning author of the critically acclaimed Boy,
Everywhere,
A story of hope, speaking up and the power of coming together
in the face of hatred. Perfect for readers of Elle McNicoll and
