The Skin I'm In Audiobook

" The book was so interesting in so many different ways. It actually gives you a full description of what it is really like having to be black. Maleeka is one of the characters in the story and I bet many people can relate to someone like her. Its really sad of what she has to go through but in the end it all works out and she feels better about herself "

" Maleeka Madison isn't your typical high school girl who is snobby and rude. She's a girl who doens't really have much, she's poor to begin with. Maleeka has low self-esteem problems as she faces the trauma's a being black. She has hope as her teacher Ms. Saunders helps her guide her through her problems. "

" The main character is a young girl with attitude who is having trouble fitting in at school and falls in with the wrong crowd. It's an urban coming of age story that will leave you smiling. "

" You shouldn't let other people perceptions of you hurt you; you know who you are! "

" this book iz tha shyt "

" well i finished it in 3 days so that must mean that it wuz a good book. "

" I'm completely exhausted and too incoherent to write well about this book, but I wanted to leave myself a quick note before my thoughts about it are lost. I really was impressed by the writing and the frank, non-sugarcoated look at the hellish experience of being at the mercy of other kids' jealousy and insecurities. Maleeka is a strong and smart narrator who I was interested in from the first page. Her voice is loud and clear and you can tell she will have a lot of interesting things to say. "

" I think this book showed how hard it is to be dark skin in a light skin world. I felt sorry Maleeka and saw what she was going through because the people at school where giving her a hard time. . She kept her troubles bottled up and feel i can relate. I would recommend this to everyone. "

" I would reconmmend people 2 read this book because this book in reality and a lesson. Maleeka learned how 2 take a stand for herself . "

" I think that this was a great book. "

" I really liked this book. I can relate to this book. It's very interesting. There was always something going on. Alot of the stuff that happened in the book has happened in my life. It's an easy read and I would reccommend it to anyone, but moreso a middleschooler/highschooler. "

" Kids, especially middle school aged, are mean to cover their hurt. The problem is that those that they hurt have to find ways to be mean to cover their pain.a reality that's become a problem for many students. "

" The author's tone on this book is kind of sad. My mood reading this was suspenseful and sad because I wanted to see what was going to happen next and the way Maleeka got treated was heartbreaking. "

" I love this book!! It shows that how no matter what you look like on the outside you show be proud of what you are on the inside. Love yourself and everything you are. "

" Shouldn't be judged by your skin. "

" this is an excellent book for teens who are sort off experiencing the same thing Malika is the main character of the book. This teaches a lesson within the book. Just read!!! "

" I definately love this book! It's a fast read but is still a very good book :) "

" You've got to like who you are! "

" We are teaching this book in 7th grade. It is perfect for the urban population at our school and sends an important message. "

" I read this novel with my class. This novel brought up a lot of discussions, especially about skin color. In this novel you were able to understand "

" Love the skin you are in and stand up for who you are...teachers this ia great read for kids with loe self esteem "

" I thought this book was really good. Basically because I could relate a lot to the person in the book. "

" Maleeka is a very dark skinned thirteen year old who wants to fit in. Maleeka is uncomfortable with who she is and can't decide who she wants to be. She learns how to accept and love herself from a teacher who has a birthmark on her face. "

" This book is...REAL. it shows a girl going through everyday things dealing with a BIG issue race. "

" I love the "Skin I'm in". It speaks to me like as if you, the author, is talking right to me. Or the characters are coming right out of the book. I read the book in my reading class for middle school. I feel in love with it. Also, may you try aand make another one. If it's fine with you.Thank you for your time "

" it was really a good book "

" this book is really good so far ill make a review after i finish "

" My favorite part of the book was when Maleeka stood up to Charlese because somebody needed to stand up to her. Yes, I would recommend this book to a friend because there is not alot of conflicts, but when there is, it's really exciting. "

" I thought it was pretty cool you know "

" Some of my 10th grade lit circles will be reading this book. I loved the characters and the world they inhabit, but sometimes the plot felt a little simplistic/dramatic to me. The bottom line is that the kids will enjoy reading it, and that makes me happy. "

" I LOVE THIS BOOK <br/> <br/> "

" I still think this is one of <br/>the best books I've read. <br/>I loved Maleeka, and the storyline <br/>was soo real that it pulled at my imagination. <br/>I remember being told to go to my bed one night, <br/>but I snuck into the closet just so I could finish <br/>reading this book. "

" It was a good book I would love to read it again "
