GIVEAWAY+ Q&A: 

Maleeka Madison is a strong student who has had enough of being teased about her “too black” skin and handmade clothes. So when she starts seventh grade, she decides to adopt a sassier attitude and a tougher circle of friends. The last thing she expects is to get “messed up” with another “freak,” but that’s exactly what happens.

After a new teacher, whose face is disfigured from a skin disease, enters her life, will Maleeka be able to learn to love the skin she’s in?
