Description
Best friends Amani and Huda are getting nervous about their GCSEs—and their future beyond school, which they're both wildly unprepared for. Shy, quiet Amani has an outwardly picture-perfect family: a father who is a successful TV presenter, a loving mother, and an adorable younger brother. Meanwhile, confident and impulsive Huda has grown up with over-affectionate foster parents who are now expecting a baby of their own.
Both girls are jealous of each other's seemingly easy life, without realising the darkness or worries that lie underneath. Then Huda witnesses Amani's father hitting her mother, and Amani's biggest secret is suddenly out.
As Amani convinces Huda to keep quiet by helping her with her own problems, a prank blog starts up at school, revealing students' secrets one by one. Will this anonymous blogger get hold of Amani's secret too? Will Huda keep quiet?
This Is My Truth by Yasmin Rahman is a gripping exploration of friendship, secrets, and the burdens carried beneath the surface.
