I am a reading teacher and am always looking for books that mirror my students. We are reading The Skin I’m In together as a class. Students asked for more book by Sharon Flake. They love her writing and sense of humor!

I really liked this book!! The book consist of a lot of short stories, I usually don’t like books like that but each one of these stories was so interesting. Sharon flake is a really good writer, I like how she makes each character seem so realistic and completely different even though the book is fiction. My favorite character is Tow-kaye from the short story “scared to death”. He’s a sixteen year old boy who got has gotten his girlfriend pregnant and now is marrying her, but during the ceremony he realizes he isn’t ready to get married. Overall the book was good and I would recommend it to a friend. I will probably be reading more of Sharon g. flakes books

Our book club just read this book, a collection of ten short stories about teen boys, each of them different in how they live their lives and their attitudes toward the world. We all agreed that the characters of these stories are memorable, so distinctive. Our book club particularly enjoyed the story of the 16-year-old who is getting married to his childhood sweetheart, the boy who is living with this aunt, a lottery winner, and the boy who lives in Philadelphia whose police office stepfather wants him to stay at home with doors and windows locked but he takes off with a friend to explore the neighborhood he loves. Highly recommended
