A book for readers in grades 7 and up reviewed by Silvia
Piecing Me Together is a book about a poor black teen who attends an all white school. She tries to be successful without people feeling bad for her and thinking that they have to help her.
Jade, the main character, is a perfect student with perfect grades. As she tries to get opportunities, she sometimes feels as if the opportunities she receives are because she is a black person and not because of who she is.
Throughout the book, Jade faces some tough situations. Eventually, she gets recognized, which makes her happy.
I would recommend this book to teenagers and adults.
