The Skin I'm In

Sharon G. Flake

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

Miss Saunders, whose skin is blotched with a rare skin condition, serves as a mirror to Maleeka Madison's struggle against the burden of low self-esteem that many black girls face when they're darker skinned. Miss Saunders is tough and through this, Maleeka learns to stand up to tough-talking Charlese.

    Ugh, this book made me cry. It's easy to read and it hits you right in the feels. All I want to do is hug Maleeka and her mom.
