Samuel Brandt woke up with his thoughts written all over his body. His brother woke up with his head missing. His sister woke up to find that her skin would crack open unless she stayed in water. All of the other children in the secluded Iowa town of Oak Knoll woke up having undergone strange transformations. Now, they are all forced to live at 407 West Marshall Street, the mysterious house outside of town. With the new name of The Boy with Words for Skin, Samuel wants nothing more than to hide from his new life. He painfully and unpredictably sheds his skin, there is a Voice in the entryway closet that is often cruel, and-perhaps worst of all for a naturally shy boy-the other children look to him as a leader. As his seven-year-old brother struggles with their new life, as terrifying growls start to come from the pitch black basement, and as his feelings for a girl begin to grow, The Boy with Words for Skin realizes that he wants to change. He wants to put others first, learn from his peers, and let himself hope that things will get better. The Boy with Words for Skin is the first book in the 407 West Marshall Street series. Each book will advance the story but be told from a different character. Book 2 will be The Girl without Eyes.

"There is a girl in this school that is suffering. It is tearing her apart, what the other kids say. It's me. Dear bully, you have made my life hell....." I've seen and read all the dear bully stories and a lot of them are unrealistic I have seen the classic "dear bully, i weigh 2 pounds" and that is unrealistic. I've also read "dear bully, I haven't eaten in 5 weeks" like... No you'd be dead. So I am going to write a more realistic story. I hope everyone enjoys this book. Please comment, I want to hear your opinion. Trigger warning ⚠️
