520    In The Skin I'm In, readers saw into the life of Maleeka 
       Madison, a teen who suffered from the ridicule she 
       received because of her dark skin color. For decades fans 
       have wanted to know the fate of the bully who made 
       Maleeka's life miserable, Char. Charlese Jones, with her 
       raw, blistering voice speaks the truths many girls face, 
       offering insight to some of the causes and conditions that
       make a bully. Turned out of the only home she has known, 
       Char boards a bus to nowhere where she is lured into the 
       dangerous web of human trafficking. Much is revealed 
       behind the complex system of men who take advantage of 
       vulnerable teens in the underbelly of society. While Char 
       might be frightened, she remains strong and determined to 
       bring herself and her fellow victims out of the dark and 
       back into the light, reminding us why compassion is a 
       powerful cure to the ills of the world. Sharon Flake's 
       bestselling, Coretta Scott King Award-winning novel The 
       Skin I'm In was a game changer when it was first published
       more than twenty years ago. It redefined young adult 
       literature by presenting characters, voices, and real-
       world experiences that had not been fully seen. Now Flake 
       offers readers another timely and radical story of a girl 
       on the brink and how her choices will lead her to either 
       fall, or fly.
