Powerful characters, dialogue, and story line give the reader/listener much to think about and discuss.” see full review » see other reviews » |

“many people can relate to this book and thats a reason why this book was great. Many people get dicrminated against and this book demonsrates it. this book made me feel furious becasue i dont like how other people treat others and people should be judged by thier personality not their color of their skin. people should feel comfortable inthier own skin and not be made fun of.”

“Such a revolutionary book! Lots of young adults can learn what that being yourself is the key to success. This book is about who you are, and you're suppose to love it. It's about being yourself. ”

“15 BOOKS DURING SUMMER OF PREGNANCY - I read this book in just two hours it was that quick. It is about a girl in middle school who fails time and time again to assert herself. The back of the book gives her extra-dark black skin and the teasing it receives as the reason for her lack of self-esteem, but I think that’s not the only reason… she’s a poor girl living in a cutthroat community where bullies rule the school and taking a walk to the local market could get you beat up. I liked that the problems were very difficult for the character to solve; this made the book inspirational because it didn’t try to hide behind easy answers that often mislead young adults. I think young adults will also love the authentic voice they read here; the dialogue is the kind I hear in my school halls everyday.”
