Praise for Where the Streets Had a Name
*"This novel is an important addition to a very small body of existing books that tell the Palestinian story for young people, and an intensely realistic setting brings that story to life. It is full of humor, adventure, and family love, but doesn't try to hide the heartbreaking and often bitter reality of life under Occupation. Abdel-Fattah manages to walk the line of truth-telling and sensitivity." -- School Library Journal, starred review
"Hayaat's immediate, wry, and irreverent narrative intensifies the story of anguished struggle and Palestinian politics... The suspense builds... to heartbreaking revelations." -- Booklist
"A refreshing and hopeful teen perspective on the Israeli-Palestinian dilemma." -- Kirkus Reviews
"Abdel-Fattah (Does My Head Look Big in This?) crafts a classic quest... The heroine's courage, warmth, and humor despite mounting challenges will win over readers." -- Publishers Weekly
Praise for Ten Things I Hate About Me
"Written with insight, humor and sensitivity, Abdel-Fattah introduces a winning Muslim-Australian heroine who discovers that 'honesty is liberating.'" -- Kirkus Reviews
"[T]he teen's present-tense narrative is as hilarious as the narrator's in Abdel-Fattah's first book and is just as honest about the shocking prejudice against Muslims. Teens will love the free-flowing, funny dialogue, even as they recognize their own ways of covering up who they are." -- Booklist
"[T]he author brings a welcome sense of humor to Jamilah's insights about her culture, and she is equally adept at more delicate scenes.... For all the defining details, Jamilah is a character teens will readily relate to." -- Publishers Weekly
"Beautifully written with well-developed characters, this novel raises very relevant questions about racism and identity that teens of any culture or religion will relate to." -- Romantic Times
"[T]he book will... appeal to teens who like stories about outsiders finding their place in the world." -- School Library Journal
Praise for Does My Head Look Big in This?

*"Amal... emerges a bright, articulate heroine true to herself and her faith. Abdel-Fattah's fine first novel offers a world of insight." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review
..".refreshing... a valuable book." -- New York Times Book Review
"[A] witty, sensitive debut." -- People Magazine
"With an engaging narrator at the helm, Abdel-Fattah's debut novel should open the eyes of many a reader... Using a winning mix of humor and sensitivity, Abdel-Fattah ably demonstrates that her heroine is, at heart, a teen like any other. This debut should speak to anyone who has felt like an outsider for any reason." --Publishers Weekly
