Read the excerpt from 'Jabari Unmasked' by Nikki Grimes:
Fresh out of middle school, we
all understand the rules: wear
whatever's in, scowl on cue to convince the
world we're fearless-anything to mask
the million insecurities that
pockmark our skin like acne. Gone the grins
when we strut down the hall. We talk tough and
hope to God it's enough to get us by. It's all lies.
