The Skin I'm In Paperback – July 17, 2007

Every child in middle school and high school should read this book

If you can open your heart and mind, and close your eyes, this book is a live document. The characters are alive, and each emotion; the fear, sadness, pride are each alive as an individual character. I couldn't put it down, and I look forward to reading everything Ms.Flake has created!

I have read this book a few times and I love it every time. It is culturally revenant and has many important lessons for young adults.

Finished it in two days!

I enjoyed reading this book with my 11 year old daughter. There was so much that she took away from reading,such as how to choose friends wisely etc.Highly recommend 👌

im an eleven year old and dont usually dont read stuff like i did in this book. i think when maleeka got chased, beat up, and burned down a clasroom, she learned that like Akeelma, she hd to accept her differences. she saved jjs butt, told char and the twins and sweets so many things, and got into varieties of trouble. later on, she realizes tht miss saunders is stubborn, but lets only her off the hook. she learns that like miss saunders, she has to accept her differences and rise above the highest and teach the ones in need. she learns that she has to act confident, to be and feel confident. i think char and the twins represent the bad influences in life and makeela represents the strong independent persons who learns to trust and love. i love how i can relate.

This novel deals with the various emotions of being someone of color and how we are viewed by so many different types of people and their perceptions. It also shows how we may react behind those views.

As described and happy with my purchase.

Bought for home schooling

Read it myself, and gave it to a teenager to read. For those into English, this is a good book to start many debates in self perception, race, education, peer pressure and deprivation..... Read on people and expand your minds

Lost in the book. Well written.

Great book fast delivery

El libro estaba en muy buen estado para ser de segunda mano, las páginas sin manchas, sin subrayados, buen color y las tapas con un par de marcas como de lápiz que se fueron con la goma. El envío llegó con prontitud.
