A magical, empowering and fantastically funny fairytale mash-up with heroines that don't need saving, from debut author Radiya Hafizah.
Rumaysa, Rumaysa, let down your hijab!
For as long as she can remember Rumaysa has been locked away in a tall tower, forced to use her magic to spin straw into gold for the evil Witch and unable to leave. Until one day, after dropping a hijab out of her small tower-window, Rumaysa realizes how she might be able to escape.
Join Rumaysa as she adventures through enchanted forests and into dragon's lairs, discovers her own incredible magical powers, and teams up with Cinderayla and Sleeping Sara!
Radiya Hafiza's enchantingly hilarious debut weaves together three fairytales - Rumaysa, Cinderayla, and Sleeping Sara - but these girls definitely don't need saving! Fully illustrated throughout by Rhaida El Touny, and with a cover art by Areeba Siddique, Rumaysa spins the classic Western fairytale to show that anyone can be a hero.
