Maleeka suffers every day from the taunts of the other kids in her class. If they're not getting at her about her homemade clothes or her good grades, it's about her dark, black skin.

But the new teacher's attitude surprises Maleeka. Miss Saunders loves the skin she's in. Can Maleeka learn to do the same?

Sharon G. Flake has inspired my daughters to read. They have read all of her books and they love thems. Great author that writes in a way that teens can relate too. The books are so interesting that you don't want to put them down.
