The book The Skin I'm In by Sharon G. Flake, is about a young girl by the name of Maleeka Madison who is struggling to find and accept herself for who she is. There are many obstacles along the way. In the end she learns that she does not need to be, or look the way others want her to. And that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It is a great book that I would reccommend you should read.

I though this book was great. It was just so down to Earth and I thought that it can relate to a lot of people especially people who get discriminated or made fun of because of there skin color.
