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
