Her mother tells her to take advantage of every opportunity that comes her way. And Jade has: every day she rides the bus to the private school where she feels like an outsider, but where she has plenty of opportunities. But some \u003ci\u003eopportunities\u003c\/i\u003e she doesn't really welcome, like an invitation to join a mentorship program for \"at-risk\" girls. Just because her mentor is Black and graduated from the same high school doesn't mean she understands where Jade is coming from. She's tired of being singled out as someone who needs help, someone people want to fix. Jade wants to speak, to create, to express her joys and sorrows, her pain and her hope. Maybe there are some things she could show other women about understanding the world and finding ways to be real, to make a difference. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eNPR's \u003c\/i\u003eBest Books \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A New York Public Library Best Teen Book of the Year\u003cbr\u003e Chicago Public Library's Best Books \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eA \u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal \u003c\/i\u003eBest Book \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e' Best Teen Books \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eJosette Frank Award Winner\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRenée Watson\u003c\/b\u003e is a #1 \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author.
