The Skin Im in!!!!!!

The book called the Skin I’m In was a very great book for many different reason,

First the book was a great book because it told the story about a young girl who was teased and tormented everyday in school about how dark she was, the kids would call her all types of names, names such as Black and Ugly they would aslo tease her about the way she dressed, she would have to wear clothing that her mother made for her, which she really did not like at all so she would borrow clothing from her only friend, because of that she would get teased even more.

Second, I liked the book because it is based on true real life things that go on in young teens meaning things like poor families, children who are depressed and have very low self-esteem because of things that go in in school in their personal life where the family cannot afford the things their children need. The book is also about teen stress the girl in the book undergoes alot of stress, she feels that she is unable to get a man because of the way she looks and the guy that she likes is the same as the other kids but although he likes her back he does’nt want the other kids to know that he likes her.

Finally, I like the book because of the way the narrator tells the story, he tells the story as if we were actually there. The narrator also puts the story in a perspective where as though the reader feels where the girl in the book is coming from and it makes the reader feel like they have been there before even if you has’nt been there before you still feel as if you were.

Inconclusion, These are my reasons as to why I liked the book The Skin Im In.
