This story takes place in Melbourne where a Muslim girl called Amal decides it’s time to wear a hijab full time.

The story mentions some misconceptions about Islam and Hijab, presents reaction of other classmates and teacher, and portrays her emotions like a teenage girl being ridiculed by some of her peers. The novel overall illustrates the racism, religious discrimination and prejudice that continues in many parts of the world, including developed and multicultural country like Australia, where she lives.
