A brave, beautifully told story of an Afro-American teen dealing with colourism, racism and bullying - but given hope by the power of an inspirational and kind teacher. Maleeka suffers everyday from the taunts of the other kids in her class. If theyre not getting at her about her homemade clothes or her good grades, its about her dark, black skin. When a new teacher, whose face is blotched with a startling white patch, starts at their school, Maleeka can see there is bound to be trouble for her too. But the new teachers attitude surprises Maleeka. Miss Saunders loves the skin shes in.Can Maleeka learn to do the same? Features a new introduction by New York Timesbestselling author Jason Reynolds.
