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.

I look up through the crack in the ground. I grip my gun tightly as I stand amongst the many great cliffs that border one of the great divides. This elevated position at noon is the only time in the day you can see the true effects of the thousand great divides. On May 23 2018, there were violent earthquakes, that shook and split the ground. Those of us who fell is stuck in the Great Divides, but there are a select few who were unlucky enough to be stuck above. There are places on earth that weren't affected by the quakes at all. This is truly the end of the world. I am stuck above ground and I would like to keep it that way, even if the military continues breathing down my neck. This is where my story will begin.
