pickPiecing Me Together by Renee Watson 4/5⭐️
This is the story of Jade, a high school student striving to make the best of her situations. I‘d never heard about this book until I saw a list of Newberry awards at my local library - it‘s not overall dark or dramatic but it‘s a great read about race, rights, friendship, and real struggles of teens in our time.

"Clement's brown skin was the rich color of old bronze, while Hippolye's fair skin was tanned by the tropic wind and sun. From the first they were as close as brothers" #ucflae3414sp17 #corettascottkingaward http://www.readwritethink.org/classroom-resources/lesson-plans/exploring-world-c...
I'm taking the #2017ReadHarderChallenge and wasn't too stoked about reading a book about sports until I remembered that this book was on my tbr. #newberymedal #corettascottkingaward #bookriot #readharder
