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 attendant anxieties (like how much eyeliner to wear) is funny, surprising and touching by turns.
