It is not a dramatic feeling book, although it could have been, based on the plot points. Good for teens who like realistic fiction with no love drama. ( ) I tried to read [b:This Side of Home|22392935|This Side of Home|Renée Watson|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1422732313s/22392935.jpg|41813444] when it came out and didn't get far because Watson's writing style doesn't appeal much to me. In terms of Nancy Pearl's doorways, my biggest door is language and the language Watson employs seems serviceable but unremarkable. The dialogue tends to sound unnatural at times, especially when it's full of exposition. For me, if I'm not getting beautiful sentences, then I need a super exciting plot. I kept waiting for the plot to get going and then realized there wasn't going to be much of a plot. Despite not liking This Side of Home I had high hopes for Piecing Me Together because of all the awards it's won. But I found the same issues I had with Watson's earlier book. Still, Piecing Me Together does a lot of good things. Good exploration of themes. Good characters. Good structure with the very short chapters. Though Jade is a junior in high school, I think this book will work for readers as young as 11 or 12. So I think I understand why the Newbery committee chose to honor it. But it's still not a book I enjoyed very much. It felt didactic and predictable to me. But adults like me are not the intended audience. The lessons this book offers are important and are presented in a way that will probably work pretty well for tweens and teens. Jade is a young black teenage girl in the more predominantly white Portland, Oregon. Struggling with identity as she attends the almost all white private school she attends, Jade explores her life through the lens of a black, strong, independent woman in a world that she tries to silence her. I would use this book in a middle school setting, more 7th-8th grade, and have the students do a reflection problem on their own identity and how they fit into our society. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Tired of being singled out at her mostly-white private school as someone who needs support, high school junior Jade would rather participate in the school's amazing Study Abroad program than join Women to Women, a mentorship program for at-risk girls.
