When Michael Met Mina

From the bestselling author of Does My Head Look Big In This? “” When Michael Met Mina is cutting and hilarious; powerful but warm; diverse but not didactic; fierce and encouraging. It is young adult fiction at its finest: unique and challenging, written well, and without condescension. Australian teens should read this book, then pass it on to their parents.”” Maxine Beneba Clarke, author of The Hate Race , Foreign Soil and Carrying The World A boy. A girl. Two families.
