This is just a setback though, and she's determined to prove that she does deserve her scholarship by making new friends and setting her sights on inventing something that could win the big robotics competition.
But where to begin?

Recenzii
This
is
a
laugh
out
loud
story
about
making
friends,
carving
your
way
in
the
world
and
having
the
confidence
to
do
things
your
way.
Layla
is
a
fabulous,
plucky
protagonist,
and
her
inventive
attitude
to
surmounting
hurdles
is
inspiring.
The
book
is
also
an
introduction
to
thinking
about
some
of
the
barriers
people
of
colour
can
face,
illustrated
by
Layla's
older
brother
Ozzie
who
has
been
applying
for
jobs
and
not
even
getting
interviews.
It
offers
an
insight
into
normal
Muslim
family
life
(the
Australian
setting
will
be
effortlessly
accessible
to
UK
kids)
together
with
a
brilliant
glossary
of
terms.
This
story
is
fresh
and
funny
and
is
an
empowering
read
-
especially
for
girls
and
people
of
colour.
A
really
great
secondary
school-age
novel
that
everyone
should
read!
...this warm, humorous account of a larger-than-life Sudanese girl navigating a posh Australian school is an engaging read for 12-plus.
I adored Layla's openness, her aptitude for shrugging off set-backs, taking suggestions on board and embracing change. As theYou Must Be Laylatitle suggests, she's a one-of-a-kind heroine, and this funny, thought-provoking novel - the first children's book from inspirational Sudanese-born broadcaster, social advocate and mechanical engineer Yassmin Abdel-Magied - is a one-of-a-kind bundle of comedy and compassion.
Yassmin Abdel-Magied'sYou Must Be Laylais a tonic, and a terrific debut for 11+. Its narrator is (like its author) a Sudanese girl who has won a scholarship to a posh Australian school. Bossy, smart and brave, she has to face the students who have it in for her as the only Muslim. Underneath its buoyant humour is a timely wisdom about finding friends in an alien culture.
Sudanese-Australian activist Abdel-Magied's first novel is the sparkling tale of 13-year-old Layla, who moves to a new school, where she is the only pupil to wear a headscarf.
