Preview: Hear it

Ever since she was a baby, the words people use to describe Elyse have instantly appeared on her arms and legs. At first it was just cute and adorable, but as shes gotten older and kids have gotten meaner, words like loser and pathetic appear, and those words bubble up and itch. And then there are words like interesting, which shes not really sure how to feel about. Now, at age twelve, shes starting middle school, and just when her friends who used to accept and protect her are drifting away, she receives an anonymous note saying I know who you are, and I know what youre dealing with. I want to help. As Elyse works to solve the mystery of who is sending her these notes, she also finds new ways to accept who she is and to become her best self.
