Praise
forYou
Must
Be
Layla:A
laugh
out
loud
story
about
making
friends,
carving
your
way
in
the
world
and
having
the
confidence
to
do
things
your
way.
Layla

fabulous,
plucky
protagonist,
and

inspiring.
The
book
is
also
an
introduction
to
thinking
about
some
of
the
barriers

colour

face,

brother
Ozzie

has
been
applying
for
jobs
and
not
even
getting
interviews.
It
offers
an
insight
into
normal
Muslim
family
life...This
story
is
fresh
and
funny
and
is
an
empowering
read.
