Ten Things I Hate About Me by Randa Abdel-Fattah (Scholastic Inc., $19), Available at amazon.ca.
What does it feel like to lead a double life? Just ask Jamie, the teenaged protagonist of Ten Things I Hate about Me, who at school, appears just like everyone else but at home, lives in a traditional Lebanese-Muslim household (with a father whose rules are driving her crazy). Poignant, smart and hilarious, this book is a noteworthy tale of one girl’s struggle with her sense of culture and identity.—Dayna Danson
