Sharon G. Flake made a book called the e Skin I’m in. The setting was set in the past at school and home. The young African American girl named Maleeka that gets bullied because she black and at her school that’s different. One main lesson that I learned is everyone is different don’t judge a book by its cover
From the beginning, she was very shy. She was a new girl at a new school and she was dark skinned. Everyone was judging her by her skin. But she isn’t the only African in her school. The kids bullied her.
The author starts to change when he start making people say. Don’t let that pretty name fool you. She nobody worth knowing. And that wants you to feel bad for her. Like I stated getting mad for her
And at the end of the book people started liking her saying things like I wish she didn’t have to go. But she still left. That a very sad part in the book.
But at the end I think they did that because they were jealous of her thinking she had more and better things that they had
