'Important and deeply moving' JOHN GREEN
'Timely and timeless' JACQUELINE WOODSON
Jade is a girl striving for success in a world that seems like it's trying to break her.
She knows she needs to take every opportunity that comes her way. And she has: every day Jade rides the bus away from her friends to a private school where she feels like an outsider, but where she has plenty of opportunities.
But some opportunities Jade could do without, like the mentor programme for 'at-risk' girls. Just because her mentor is black doesn't mean she understands where Jade is coming from. Why is Jade always seen as someone to fix? But with a college scholarship promised at the end of it, how can Jade say no?
Jade feels like her life is made up of hundreds of conflicting pieces. Will it ever fit together? Will she ever find her place in the world? More than anything, Jade just wants the opportunity to be real, to make a difference.

An inspirational and complex character who continually focuses our attention on the beauty of all things black ... Very rewarding (Irish Examiner)
Be uplifted, have a little cry and lose yourself to the wonderful story of teenager Jade (Emerald Street)

A nuanced story about girls navigating the landmines of others' good intentions, Piecing Me Together will make readers wrestle with every assumption they have about race, economic class, and so-called at-risk kids ... Watson is a top-rate storyteller (Meg Medina, award-winning author of Burn Baby Burn)

Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Jade believes she must get out of her poor neighborhood if shes ever going to succeed. Her mother tells her to take advantage of every opportunity that comes her way. And she has. She accepted a scholarship to a mostly white private school and even Saturday morning test prep opportunities. But some opportunities feel more demeaning than helpful. Like an invitation to join Women to Women, a mentorship programme for at-risk girls. Except really, its for black girls. From bad neighborhoods. And just because Maxine, her college-graduate mentor, is black, doesnt mean she understands Jade. And maybe there are some things Jade could show these successful women about the real world and finding ways to make a real difference.
