Sixth grader Sophie thinks she's overtired when she sees the first thought bubble appear over her mom's ex-boyfriend's head, but soon she's seeing them everywhere. It should be awesome to know people's secrets, but what happens when you discover your best friend has the same boy crush? Cooper (Sticks & Stones) once again uses magical realism to tackle moral dilemmas in an engaging way.

Elyse has a rare medical condition that she just can't hide: when people say things about her, the words appear on her arms and legs. How can a sixth grader shake off insults like "LOSER" and "PATHETIC" when they're right there on her body? Perfectly pitched for the tween audience, this poignant, hopeful book explores how to be comfortable in your own skin.
