Ten Things I Hate About Me


Author: Randa Abdel-Fattah

Jamie is popular, she has lots of friends and is asked out by the cutest guy in school. What everyone doesn't know about her is that her real name is Jamilah and she is Muslim, has a dad straight from the Stone Age, and has a sunset curfew. She is afraid that if everyone knew that she was Muslim and she plays daraburka in an Arabic band that everyone would judge her. Who is she...Jamie or Jamilah? A good story about a girl trying to unwind all the lies that she has woven and to finally be herself.
