This is an amazing book about an amazing little girl named CeCe. CeCe is having to start at a new school, but if that isn't scary enough itself... she also has a huge hearing aid strapped to her. At her old school all the kids were deaf, so she fit in. Here at her new school she is different from everyone else. CeCe then discovers that she has a super power! That is great and all, but all CeCe wants is a true friend. I love this book because it shows how people with disabilities just want to fit in with everyone else.

Piecing Me Together is a powerful story about a girl named Jade. She so badly wants out of the neighborhood that she grew up in, and her mother is her constant encourager. Jade gets accepted into a prestigious (majority white) private school. She immediately feels as though she is being judged and targeted. Jade gets invited to a mentor program, and even though her mentor looks like her, Jade doesn't feel like she understands her. I really enjoyed this book because it gave me a new perspective on how hard some people work to get where they are, and how you cannot judge someone on where they came from.
