Description

The Skin I'm In by Sharon G. Flake is a powerful and hopeful story about an Afro-American teenager's struggles with colourism, racism, and bullying.

Maleeka faces daily taunts from her classmates, who target her for her dark skin and homemade clothes. However, when a new teacher arrives at school, Maleeka sees an opportunity to learn that there is more to life than the hurtful words of others.

This beautifully told story explores themes of self-love, self-worth, and the importance of embracing one's true identity. With its unflinching yet hopeful tone, The Skin I'm In has become a landmark in young adult literature, offering a fresh perspective on the world that is both relatable and inspiring.
