The Skin I'm In by Sharon G. Flake
3.0

This will be a new sixth grade read for our students. I appreciate that they will be reading a coming of age story of a young black girl written by an author of color. That said, the story didn’t grab me until the ending. I’m also concerned it could possibly have the opposite effect by reinforcing negative stereotypes. Those that have read it, what do you think?
