Her mother tells her to take advantage of every opportunity that comes her way. And Jade has: every day she rides the bus away from her friends and 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 Women to Women, 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 of 2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eA 2017 New York Public Library Best Teen Book of the Year\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eChicago Public Library's Best Books of 2017\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eA \u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal \u003c\/i\u003eBest Book of 2017\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e' Best Teen Books of 2017\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e2018 Josette Frank Award Winner\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury U.S.A.
