The Skin I'm In

The Skin I'm In
Sharon Flake

The book I’m reading called The Skin I’m In is a really good book. This book is about a middle age girl named Maleeka. She has always been picked on all her life growing up; she has been picked on because of her skin color and her hair and her clothes. Maleeka goes to an alternative school which means the school isn’t so nice a clean. So Maleeka finally gets sick an tired of people picking on her that she decides to make an change; maleeka starts hanging out with some of the popular girls in school. Once she starts hanging out with the popular girls she noticed that nothing has really changed. Then Maleeka decided to change some things about herself; Maleeka cuts her hair off buys new clothes and puts lip gloss on. Once she changes those things about herself she feels so much better about herself. So then Maleeka goes to school with her new look feeling good, and still nothing changes everybody is still picking on her. Then Maleeka just decides that she has to love herself for who she is and how god made her to look.
