(3) 4-6 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.
