The Skin I'm In (20th Anniversary Edition)

Winner of the Coretta Scott King award Sharon Flake's award-winning, empowering debut novel follows one girl's struggle toward self acceptance, no matter what the world throws her way. Includes a foreword by bestselling, award-winning author Jason Reynolds! Maleeka suffers every day from the taunts of the other kids in her class. If they're not getting at her about her homemade clothes or her good grades, it's about her dark, black skin. Maleeka does whatever she can to try and fit in and fly under the radar. But it's never enough. When a new teacher, whose face is blotched with a startling white patch, starts at their school, Maleeka can see there is bound to be trouble for her too. But the new teacher's attitude surprises Maleeka. Miss Saunders loves the skin she's in. Can Maleeka learn to do the same? "Flake's debut novel will hit home." —Publishers Weekly, starred review
